Photo Gallery: A Glimpse of Fray Summer + Cirque Du Soleil

Catch a glimpse of some of our top summer highlights, including an exclusive backstage tour of Cirque du Soleil in Montreal and a one-on-one with World Culture Festival’s Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

BACKSTAGE WITH CIRQUE DU SOLEIL
We were granted exclusive backstage access before a performance of “Echo” in the Cirque du Soleil Montreal Grand Chapiteau this July, where cover photographer Tony Powell was able to mingle with the performers and capture some candids as they warmed up and got into full makeup and costume for the evening performance. Read more about “Echo” — and learn more about its upcoming performance dates in the DMV — in our September issue cover story by Editor-in-Chief Monica Alford. Photos by Tony Powell.
