Zaia
''Zaia'' was a Cirque du Soleil stage production based at The Venetian Macao on the Cotai Strip in Macau. The 90-minute show opened in August 2008, bringing together 75 high-calibre artists from around the world. ''Zaia'' was Cirque du Soleil's first resident show in Asia〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The first permanent Cirque du Soleil show in Asia celebrates its world premiere on August 28 at the Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel — Written and directed by Gilles Maheu )〕 and is directed by Neilson Vignola and Gilles Maheu. The custom-built theater housing the performance was capable of seating 1,800 spectators at a time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zaia: The Show - Theater )〕
''Zaia'' presented a young girl's dream of journeying into space, discovering worlds populated by a panoply of otherworldly creatures. The title, ''Zaia'', came from a Greek name meaning "life".〔
Due to multiple factors including very low audience turnouts, the show closed on 19 February 2012. Despite its closing, Venetian Macao resort owner Las Vegas Sands Corp. claimed, "Using Las Vegas as a benchmark, ''Zaia''’s 3 1/2-year run should be deemed successful and provide strong support for the argument that the future of entertainment in Macau is on the right track."
==History==
''Zaia'' opened in 2008 and had a rough start due to low audience numbers. With the addition of new Chinese-style elements such as a lion dance performance and a flying dragon, increased ticket sales were reported. Despite the improved box office sales, the show was still recording losses in 2011, Sands China president Edward Tracy revealed on 18 November 2011. The Venetian Macau show remained "the only business sector that doesn’t make a profit," he added. Criticism from Sands China chairman Sheldon Adelson led to rumours that the 10-year contract of ''Zaia'' would be terminated earlier. But Edward Tracy rejected this possibility. "We are prepared to take a loss to provide that kind of entertainment," he stressed.〔(Sands willing to take 'Zaia' losses ) ''Macau Daily Times''. 19 November 2011.〕 On 7 February 2012, Sands China and Cirque du Soleil announced that ''Zaia'' would close on 19 February 2012.
