Cirque has a lot of "interpretive" stuff that ordinary people find boring or don't understand - like a mime walking across the stage with an umbrella type of thing. On top of that, Cirque is old hat nowadays given their exposure on tour, on CBC and in Las Vegas.
I can't recall anything about the Calgary ceremonies.
I do recall giant teepees for the Montreal ceremonies (can't recall which, opening or closing)
