Sometime in the next year two acts in the resident Cirque du Soleil show La Nouba will be replaced. This is according to the CirqueTribune forums from a source that seems pretty reliable. The first part is also verified by several of the performer's websites.
The first change occurs in January. They're bringing in a juggling act by Anthony Gatto from another Cirque show Kooza, currently touring under Le Grand Chapiteau. His Kooza act:

He'll get new music, makeup and costume for La Nouba, which all seems to be verified by a youtube video posted by Gatto chronicling his quick transition between shows.
He is replacing Rokardy's Balacing on Chairs act:

The second change will occur mid-2010. The new act will be a skipping rope act featuring two guys from Japan. No video of them yet. Wild speculation, but it might be reminiscent of the skipping act from Quidam.
It's replacing the German Wheel act from the beginning of the show:

Apparently the new act will use the same music and still open the show.
Personally, I am a bit dismayed at hearing about these changes. These are my two favorite acts from my favorite show. La Nouba was my first Cirque experience. I had no clue what to expect, and seeing those German wheels first thing, I was mesmerized and am now hooked on Cirque du Soleil. I hope the jump ropes can do the same.
Balancing on Chairs was amazing to see back in May, and I've heard Rokardy added a ladder on top of everything else he balances on since then. I hoe he continues to perform with Cirque. I just saw Kooza last month, and Gatto definitely is a world-class juggler with great stage presence. I do look forward to the new acts, but will really miss the old.
