Rose d'Or on Behalf of Cirque du Soleil
For its golden jubilee, the television industry's most important award, Rose d'Or, paid homage to Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté and promoted Cirque du Soleil's upcoming show touring Europe by presenting one unique performance by the famous company. Cirque du Soleil chose Erika Lemay's hand-balancing act to represent the company. The show was broadcast across Europe.
