I don't know that it's Cirque doesn't know how to deal with the unions. After all, they have worked with IATSE for quite some time, and I believe some of their other show are under contract with AGVA (though I'm not 100% sure on that one). At any rate, right now only Banana Shpeel is listed in the "Do Not Work" notices with a note to contact Equity concerning any other Cirque shows.
Chicago Tribune review of Banana Shpeel:
"cold, chaotic, clipped and cacophonous"
