* FunnyAneurysmMoment / HarsherInHindsight: All the drama (and dark comedy in the case of the NoTalkingOrPhonesWarning) of characters falling from the stages, sometimes to their doom, becomes this in light of the June 29, 2013 disaster in which a performer fell to her death during the Battlefield climax. Battlefield was initially cut as a result, and then reinstated with the performers ''projected'' upon the wall before its full restoration in late 2014.

* {{Tearjerker}}: Of course, the performer's recent death back in June 2013, much to the terror and grief of her fellow performers and her two children. At the first performance after her death, the show was dedicated to her and it received a standing ovation.

That belongs on the CSI page


** Even prior to that was the seventh season episode "Built to Kill, Part 1" from ''Series/{{CSI}}'' - the main plot of which revolves around the death of a young woman backstage at a Cirque show. How did she die? Crushed after accidentally falling into the machinery that controls Ka's stage pieces.
