DESIGN SQUAD | Nate backstage at Cirque du Soleil | PBS KIDS GO!

http://www.pbs.org/designsquad Design Squad host Nate Ball visits the set of KÀ, the Cirque du Soleil show featuring gravity-defying, acrobatic stunts on an enormous moving stage. Nate goes behind the scenes to meet the artistic and engineering brains behind KÀ, and checks out the Sand Cliff Deck, the moving stage at the center of the show.

Borrowing from the hugely popular reality competition format, DESIGN SQUAD is aimed at kids and people of all ages who like reality or how-to television. Its goal is to get viewers excited about engineering! Check your local listings to find out when you can watch DESIGN SQUAD on your local PBS station.

@pyrojunkie is correct though ;) lot of huge bins that get placed really quick by a team.. (there is show on discovery )

[pyrojunkie]

i believe it goes into a massive trough at the bottom of the stage where its collected and cleaned ready for the next show and its cork not sand which is used - sorry for a spoiler

Wow! That's an amazing stage! And now I know where the artists go when they fall. I just wonder where all that sand go when it falls.

So jealous! I adore Cirque and can't wait to go to Vegas and see all their shows, especially Ka.
