Cirque Ingenieux was the first Broadway score that
Kitaro made, and it's one of his most ambitious projects. The play is about a young girl who falls in love with a circus and discovers the strange, wonderful, occasionally haunting world of the cirque ingenieux. There is no dialogue to the play; it is told solely through visuals and music, which makes
Kitaro's score integral to the success of the production. He rises to the challenge, drawing from not only classical and worldbeat sources, but also contemporary styles. The result is a swirling, intoxicating array of sounds that are both enchanting and haunting. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
