Cirque du Soleil chief outlines 'poetic' space mission

“Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté, training for a flight to the International Space Station next month, said Wednesday he plans to orchestrate a five-continent extravaganza as part of his ‘poetic social mission’ to raise awareness of water as a critical cultural and environmental issue.

‘As soon as I arrive on board of the International Space Station, I will actively prepare my segment of a planetary artistic event that will happen on October 9, two days before I land back on Earth,’ Laliberté said during a Webcast from Moscow.

Among those Laliberté said had agreed to participate are former Vice President Al Gore, U2, Shakira, Canadian astronaut Julie Payette, and Peter Gabriel. The theme of the production is ‘Moving Stars and Earth for Water.’

Wait, wasn’t this exact thing parodied on The Simpsons like 7 years ago?
