Mystere is a Cirque du Soleil show in permanent residence at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. It is one of five resident Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas, the others being O, Kà, LOVE, and Zumanity. Mystere was first performed on 25 December 1993 and quickly won over audiences with its unique style of circus entertainment. As with many Cirque Du Soleil productions, Mystere provides a mixture of acrobatics, gymnastics, dance, opera, new age music and comedy. History The idea for Mystere started around 1990. It was originally planned for Caesar's Palace with the theme based on Greek and Roman Mythology. The plan, however, was scrapped by the casino execs, thinking the project would be too risky. Mystere was very different from the typical material they were used to in a Las Vegas show. According to Michael Crete, a set designer for Cirque du Soleil, "Vegas... was still very influenced by Folies Bergeres, with the scarves, feather boas, etc. There was a European culture already in place, oddly enough, not an American one. The people who opened the door for something new were Siegfried and Roy. They were the first to move away from the Folies Bergeres thing." Treasure Island picked up the show three years later. This opportunity offered some new creative territory for Cirque Du Soleil. Mystere was their first show that would have its own theater. All previous shows became successful by going on tour and performing in cities in North America and around the world. Mystere would have a permanent base in Las Vegas. The new location inspired some changes in the thematic elements of the show as well. The focus of the show became the origins of life in the universe, although some mythological elements did remain intact. This theme is the inspiration for the show's costumes, set design and music. The Show Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. A clown disguised as a theater usher provides comedy entertainment. Before the main show starts, popcorn is thrown at the heads of hapless audience members and people are led to the wrong seat. A ventriloquist ringmaster-of-ceremonies and the clown are often seen taunting each other between acrobat performances. A performer dressed up as a baby also provides many comedic moments as a thread throughout the show. Eight musicians and two vocalists perform a live musical background-concert throughout each show. The lyrics, like other Cirque shows, are sung in an imaginary language.
