Montreal (ots/PRNewswire) -

Building on its worldwide successful projects, 45 DEGREES will
harness Cirque du Soleil's creative power to custom-tailor a
five-minute opening show for the NBA All-Star Game.

"45 DEGREES is proud to produce a unique performance during player
introductions for the 65th NBA All-Star Game, the first ever to take
place in Canada. It's a thrilling opportunity to offer the
international NBA community and fan base a jaw-dropping,
never-before-seen experience, powered by the magic of Cirque du
Soleil. The theme, the music, the costumes and the various acts are
all designed to celebrate everything that makes basketball great. Our
team has created an exclusive experience for all spectators to enjoy.
This is what we do at 45 DEGREES," explained Yasmine Khalil, the

45 DEGREES will tell the story of basketball through the lens of
Cirque du Soleil. Weaving together acrobatics, dance and technology,
the performance will amaze the audience and take them on the journey
of a basketball dream. The show is a tribute to basketball-the game,
the dream, its heroes and the culture. It will resonate with diehard
NBA fans and spectators alike and engage them in the timeless tale of
