Cirque du Soleil decor - proper name
Cirque du soleil is a French term meaning The Circus of Sun.
It is quite a famous circus, with its own style of decoration.
Translating into Polish I would leave the original term. With Chinese it might be more difficult due to alphabet problem :-)

Cirque du Soleil is a collection of circus troupes.
I think you might want to say "gaudy" or "brash"!

: It doesn't quite capture it, but then, as I said in my answer, it's tough to describe it in any way other than, well, Cirque du Soleil.

Decor resembling Cirque du Soleil's (a very stylish circus)
Cirque du Soleil is a circus with quirky costumes and decor (and music) that presents several different shows, each of which is framed with a story. It's so hard to describe, I'll give you instead their home page URL. See for yourself.
