[4] In 2007, 12 members of the power track act performed a routine during the pre-game show of Super Bowl XLI.

[8] The theater housing La Nouba was the first freestanding permanent structure built for Cirque du Soleil.

Other movable set elements included the two téléphériques installed along the back wall which could transport acrobatic equipment, props, and scenery at a pace of 4 feet per second (1.2 m/s).

The trampoline bed was tighter and used the second generation of springs, allowing the performers to jump higher and faster down the track, which measured 60 feet (18 m) in length.

The entire stage deck was layered with impact-resilient Mondo Sport Floor over wood in order to avoid injury.

As another first for Cirque du Soleil, the trapeze net was installed mechanically during the show with no visible stagehands as it was lowered into place from the ceiling.

Lemieux mixed historical and traditional circus ideas with contemporary fashions in her designs, and ten special technicians were employed in order to custom dye fabrics, real and synthetic hair, feathers, horsehair, and leather materials used on the various costumes.

The circus people donned bright, neon colors while the urbanites were represented by black, gray, and muted tones.

In the German wheel costumes, Lemieux accented dark colors with fluorescent fabrics to provide a high contrast with the black lights used during this act.

For all Cirque du Soleil productions, plaster head molds were created to make certain that all wigs, masks, and headpieces fit perfectly.
