MISE EN SCÈNE

  • Jeannot Painchaud
  • Dave St-Pierre

With Cirkopolis, Cirque Éloize takes their breathtaking blend of circus arts, theatre and dance to a highly-stylized metropolis setting where multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves, and challenge the limits of the factory-city as only they can.


Performing within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, they live in a world where fantasy defies reality—the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of humour and colour.

 

Cirkopolis transforms the classic film Metropolis into a virtuosic circus circus show for the whole family.
