Cirque Eloize from Canada will present “Cirkopolis,” a show that combines the worlds of circus, dance and theater.

In the heart of a stern and imposing city in appearance, giant gears and dark portals symbolize a mechanism that crushes individuality. Performing with an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, 10 acrobats and multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves and challenge the limits of the factory city. In a world where fantasy provokes reality, the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of color.

“Cirkopolis” reveals scene by scene like an elemental universe, with sculptural imagery: jugglers brave the space, a contortionist is lifted by her companions in a surge of inspiration, aerial artists defy the height of skyscrapers. Experiencing “Cirkopolis” is also stepping into the dance of the Cyr wheel, dreading the audacity of the German wheel and discovering the candor of a man who dreams only of dancing.

“‘Cirkopolis’ was imagined as a crossroads — between imagination and reality, between individuality and community, between limits and possibilities. The show is driven by the poetic impulse of life, the physical prowess of the circus and humor. Entering Cirkopolisis is all about letting go and allowing yourself to be borne aloft by hope,” explained Jeannot Painchaud, creative director of Cirque Eloize and co-director of “Cirkopolis.”
