  PY1 representative said that due to unforeseen logistical circumstances... that are beyond our reasonable control, we will be unable to present the PY1 in Miami... of the coming season. All pre-sale tickets purchased will receive full refund as well.

  Also, in regards of recent scandal with cannabis possession, when co-founder of Cirque du Soleil Guy Laliberte was arrested and later released without charges or conditions in Tahiti, in his statement released by Lune Rouge said that : "“disproportionate importance given to this matter, which is generally trivialised for someone in possession of several plants of cannabis for strictly personal use, greatly surprises me”.
