Modifying their singular circus extravaganza for the television medium, Cirque du Soleil incorporated the influences of situation comedy, film, and theater to create the 13-episode SOLSTROM. Each themed program took as its starting point the idea of a solar wind blowing to Earth, bringing strange characters with it and enchanting everything it touched. "Romance" is set in an Italian village square, where the solar wind inspires love in everyone it touches, while "Traveling" takes an airport worker on a wild journey through the American desert. "Gothic" turns a hotel into a haunted Gothic mansion, replete with all manner of ghostly doings and magical intrigue. In "Disguises," a warehouse full of costumes comes to life, taking the night watchman with them on an adventure that no one will believe. The exuberant Cirque du Soleil was originally conceived as a form of street theater, and has maintained its roots as it grew more and more elaborate, creating stories from myths and legends and bringing them to life in truly unique performances.
