Angela Laurier Quebec, Canada, has passed away at the age of 62. She had amazed Quebec with her tightrope choreographies, acrobatics, and contortions during the very early days of Cirque du Soleil. According to her contemporaries, she was a trailblazing artist who created significant opportunities for the creative and authoritative circus, for contortion, and for a certain political viewpoint on the circus.
The co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, Gilles Ste-Croix, notes that she “had a strong and beautiful presence.” Angela Laurier performed as the Queen of the Night in the 1988 production of Le cirque reinventé, which helped to create the essence of Cirque du Soleil.
She played a major role. She was actually turning into a spider. Her playing was always private and personal, and she was highly concentrated.
Brief Story about Angela Laurier
At a very young age, Angela Laurier studied in gymnastics. She was a child of the ball and a part of the Laurier tribe, which consisted of nine children, including her actress sisters Charlotte and Lucie.
Her childhood consisted of daily competitions, musicals, and Pop Pumpkin filming, the cult TV series. Then, according to Gilles Ste-Croix, “she showed up at the embryonic circus school, at the time on rue Papineau,” where she collaborated with Guy Caron.
In 1984, he made her circus debut, first in Belgium and then again with Cirque du Soleil the following year. Her age was 22. Up to 1988, she performed over these illustrious years.
Next, in Robert Lepage’s stage adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Angela Laurier portrays Puck. She started crafting her own literature for the body and the theater at the beginning of the new millennium.
Six original productions will come after Michel Dallaire’s 1999 My Big Brother television series. These circus autofictions—autobiographies told with a lot of body language or really personal documentaries—will be presented on a regular basis in France, though perhaps not as much in Quebec.
Her Legacy
She created L’Angela Bête, a rotating show that combines rock and roll, drama, circus, and singing, at Les Subsistances de Lyon in 2012. The act is constantly autobiographical. “You still have some delicious leftovers to serve before you finish them, Angela,” she yelled.
She also takes part in cultural programs both inside and outside of prison.
Conclusion
On Facebook, actress Lucie Laurier expressed the anguish of her loss. “We surround our mother with all our love, tested too often,” she wrote.
