Who is the man who was the "head" of Cirque du Soleil who recently
went out on his own?  Any information welcome.  I can't find name. 
Thank you.

Dear bronzegoddess,

The Cirque du Soleil was founded by Guy Laliberté (born 2 September
1959 in Québec) and Daniel Gauthier (born 5 September 1958 in
Montréal). Gauthier left the Cirque du Soleil in 2001; he now owns the
Canadian ski area Le Massif. Remaining co-founder Guy Laliberté is now
the sole proprietor of the Cirque du Soleil.

Regards,
Scriptor
