When you think of Cirque du Soleil, the first things that come to mind are breathtaking performances, awe-inspiring acrobatics, and world-class artistry. But behind the scenes, a unique group of individuals plays an indispensable role in bringing it all together through the power of seamless communication: the interpreters.
Often regarded as cultural ambassadors, interpreters are the closest allies of the artists—both physically and emotionally. Their role extends far beyond mere language translation as they bridge cultures, ensure inclusivity, and foster understanding during some of the most intense moments of the artists’ journeys. By facilitating clear and efficient communication, interpreters make sure that every artist feels heard, supported, safe, and ultimately empowered to share their talent with the world.
