MADONNA TEAMS UP WITH CIRQUE DU SOLEIL TO PERFORM AT SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW

I see they are bringing dance and art back to the superbowl. Last year featured Will. I.Am. and Usher with a host of gymnists and dancers. This year they take it a step further with confirmed acts Madonna and Cirque Du Soleil.



"Madonna cavorting with Spandex-clad gymnasts hooked to bungee cords.
But that will not be the nature of the show when Madonna makes her first Super Bowl halftime appearance. Just how Cirque is to be incorporated into the show bears some explanation.
In short, don’t expect Madonna to share the stage (or the 170 million TV viewers) with actual Cirque performers.
“Our involvement is a very different kind of thing,” said Jacques Methe, Cirque’s executive producer and general manager of events and images, during a recent phone conversation. “We’re bringing some of our creative people to the process of the staging.”
Which is something of a downer for those expecting to see a lineup of Spermato characters from “Mystere” dancing in line behind the 53-year-old pop adventurist.
