From the artistic and talented mind of award-winning Cirque De Soleil Choreographer / Director Alain Gauthier, comes a theatrical presentation unlike anything ever produced before, Aonix, a journey of mysticism that will touch almost every one of the senses….sight, sound, smell, and a flood of emotion. The creative team assembled for this spectacular event is unlike anything ever seen in the entertainment world, and cutting edge technology that will set a new standard in theatrical production.

Alain joined Cirque De Soleil in 1986, and has been involved in over 1600 live performances worldwide. He has been part of the acrobatic movement research team that has helped Cirque du Soleil achieve the style of performance that they present today. Alain has also been a teacher at the famous National Circus School in Montreal, having his own influence on performers that have been seen by audiences all over the world. He has co-laborated with such greats as renowned choreographer, Debbra Brown, famous director Robert Lepage, and Franco Dragone. His most famous creative work has been seen in the equestrian Cirque show Cavalia, where he combined his choreographic art with horses, on the biggest touring production in the world. Among his well know creative achievements are The Millenium Dome show (London 2000, Peter Gabriel), Zulu Time (Robert Lepage), Zumanity (Cirque du Soleil), Crescendo (Cirque d’Hiver, Paris), La Damnation de Faust (Opera de Paris), and recently Ice from Russia (Las Vegas). Alain was the Creative Director on the #1 rated NBC hit “Celebrity Circus” which aired in June/July 2008

For the first time is his career, one of the most sought-after musical producers and DJ’s, the legendary Paul Oakenfold, will compose the original score for Aonix. For the thousands of people who live, breathe and thrive on music, Paul Oakenfold is, by all accounts, in a class by himself. To this day, Oakenfold remains one of the most respected producers of electronic dance music in the business. Three time award-winner of “Best DJ In The World”, Paul Oakenfold will take on the element of sound for Aonix, transporting the audience into a new realm of consciousness. Working with such greats as Madonna, U2, Snoop Dog, and movies like Tim Buton’s Planet of the Apes, and John Travolta’s Swordfish, Paul Oakenfold’s obvious next step in his career will be to take on scoring live performance with Aonix.

Neuroscientist, Bill Scott, has joined the creative team as Image Designer. Using a new cutting-edge technology called BrainPaint, some of the interactive images that will be used in the multimedia portions of Aonix will come from Electroencephalographs (sensors that monitor brain activity). This technique will transform brain signals into incredible interactive moving visual art. He has trained top researchers in the fields of cognitive neuroscience behavior in the use of alpha-theta protocols; Alpha-Theta waves characterize respectively states of mind of relaxation and creativity.
