CIRQUE DU SOLEIL GOES GLOBAL, TARGETS LONDON FIRST
By Patrick White

MONTREAL (Reuters) - Cirque du Soleil, the critically acclaimed circus act,
is to turn London's landmark Battersea Power Station into a major
entertainment complex, the group said Monday.

The Montreal-based group said it would convert the abandoned power station
into a 2,000-seat entertainment complex, the first of four to six such
centers it plans to develop around the world in the next 10 years.

``This building continues to radiate the energy that it used to convert. It
is a hugely powerful symbol,'' Cirque du Soleil said in a statement. ``We
want to reflect that energy and power in helping to create an environment
and destination that will excite the imagination and stimulate the senses.''
