About the tour

At Cirque du Soleil Headquarters, we will tour the Atelier where more than 400 artisans work to make the 25,000 items needed for the shows, including  every hat, shoe, and headpiece. Discover the craftsmanship behind costume creation, from textile innovation to intricate dyeing techniques, all designed to bring their performances to life. 

 

At Vestechpro, we will tour their mechanical recycling facility to see how textiles are defiberized, carded and needle punched to be transformed into new materials. In addition, we will visit their lab where they conduct longevity testing and assess a garment's durability, performance and resistance.
