Lewis CaliburnAs an Official Partner of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, Epson has announced its high-performance laser projectors will play a key role in bringing to life the never-before-seen visuals of Cirque du Soleil ALIZÉ.
ALIZÉ is Cirque du Soleil’s first residency in Europe. Mixing extraordinary artistry with breathtaking projection, the avant-garde creation – set to premiere in November 2025 at Berlin’s Theater am Potsdamer Platz – is the first of many productions that showcase the creative force of two leading entertainment companies joining together to craft something truly magical.
“By redefining the limits of stage technology as well as theatre and scenic design, Cirque du Soleil has completely transformed what can be achieved in delivering resident shows around the world,” says Matthew Nickel, Chief Creation and Production Officer, Cirque du Soleil. “In 2025, we write a new chapter in our history by establishing our first residency in Europe, and Epson’s vision is the best asset we can have by our side at this very strategical moment for our company.”
Cirque du Soleil’s 54th original production, ALIZÉ, depicts a journey into the unseen, immersing the audience in a magical adventure that transcends the boundaries of the imagination. The stunning production will take the audience on a wonderful journey into a surreal world where the impossible becomes possible. Reinventing the limits of visual experience, ALIZÉ will blend Cirque du Soleil’s creativity and stage design mastery with Epson’s 3LCD laser projection technology to create immersive imagery.
“Cirque du Soleil ALIZÉ is an in-depth immersion into a world of wonder and mystery that will have the audience witness the impossible become possible,” adds Martin Dignard, Line Producer, ALIZÉ. “As we’re developing a production that aims to deliver visuals unlike anything we’ve done before, our team knew that relying on Epson’s projection technology was the right solution to achieve our creative objectives.”
Cirque du Soleil ALIZÉ is the first of many projects that will bring the two companies together. Both partners are currently working closely together on new collaborations.
“We are incredibly proud of this partnership with Cirque du Soleil, and to be part of making this monumental residency vision a reality,” says Richard Miller, Vice President, Commercial Marketing and Service, Epson America, Inc. “The ALIZÉ production is the perfect canvas to showcase the potential of our projection technology – and this is only the beginning. Through our ongoing partnership, Cirque du Soleil and Epson are poised to redefine storytelling and deliver unforgettable experiences to audiences in Berlin and beyond.”
