''Amaluna'' is a touring show by Cirque du Soleil, created and directed by Diane Paulus. It premiered in Montréal, Canada, on April 19, 2012. Loosely inspired by William Shakespeare's ''The Tempest'', the story takes place on an island governed by goddesses. During a storm, a group of men are washed up on shore. The queen's daughter falls for one of the young men, and the trials of their love are the basis of the show's main narrative through-line. The show is notable for having a cast that is 70% female. The title, ''Amaluna'', is the combination of two words. "Ama" which refers to mother in many languages, and "luna" which means moon. The moon is a symbol of femininity, which is part of the reason it was chosen for this production.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cirque du Soleil Unveils a New Touring Show Amaluna Directed by Diane Paulus in Montreal's Old Port Starting April 19. )〕 ==Set and technical information== Scott Pask created a set that was inspired by nature, using branches resembling bamboo that frame the set and reach out to the audience. The set is open yet immersive at the same time. Trees tower near the edge of the central stage and lower, denser flora are visible further upstage. The trees are handcrafted and are not treated to look like wood, yet still suggest a natural look. The principal colors seen throughout the stage are those found in peacock feathers. Lighting is used to create a sense of danger and heightened awareness, using the set to cast shadows.〔 The center stage in ''Amaluna'' has a mechanism allowing it to revolve, as can the carousel suspended above the stage. The set design has very few moving parts. This allows for greater attention to the performers.〔 * There are 174 branches in 534 sections (90 in the canopy and 84 upstage) making a total of . * There are three models of branches in the canopy and 35 in the upstage. * The -diameter carousel weighs . * The grid weighs and includes three acrobatic winches, each able to lift loads up to at per second. * The acrobatic winch in the centre of the carousel can lift up to at per second. * The waterbowl is tall, in diameter, and weighs when filled with water. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amaluna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
