Wildly popular and critically acclaimed celebrity (and Oprah!(tm)-appearing) photographer Veronique Vial is also the official photographer for Cirque du Soleil, the widely adored theatrical troupe that mixes traditional circus performance tropes with imaginative mysticism and exotic storytelling in sold-out performances worldwide. Vial captures the vivid color, breathtaking special effects, and mesmerizing costume, set design, and troupe performances--in and out of water (eau)--that are the hallmark of Cirque"s new Vegas venue at the Bellagio. Vial"s unique capacity to distill the childlike mystery and awe of "O," the most elaborate Cirque du Soleil production ever mounted, creates in effect a wonderfully transcendent book for kids and adults alike, complete with fantasy narrative. Harry Potter would approve.
