Cirque Du Soleil: Without a Net

Matt Roush says...

What do world-class acrobats do when they’re grounded by an unforeseen pandemic? As you’d expect, they worry about the future, which is what happens in a documentary following cast and crew members of Cirque du Soleil’s flagship Las Vegas production O when the show shuts down along with the rest of the world in March 2020. While trying to stay limber in quarantine, they’re rocked when the company files for bankruptcy protection, laying off much of the work force. But eventually, the show will go back on, and Without a Net chronicles their efforts to get the watery spectacle up and running again with an eight-week deadline to reopening night.
