Synopsis

The Chinese view the lion as a symbol of good luck, which is why a half-dragon, half-lion—referred to as a dralion—serves as the emblem of this East-meets-West performance. It features 36 Chinese acrobats joining the renowned Canadian troupe. The show celebrates the four elements, each represented by a specific color: blue for air, green for water, red for fire, and ochre for earth. Dralion blends traditional Chinese circus elements with Cirque du Soleil's signature features, including a techno-oriented single ring, multicolored lighting and costumes, music that fuses rock, New Age, and various world influences (excluding Chinese), and clown acts that involve audience members in their antics.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
