**Due to overwhelming response, limited additional tickets with slightly restricted view will be available for sale from 17 December 2021 4pm onwards.** 

“It has poetry, grace, exquisite acrobatics, fineness and sensitivity delivered with elegance, gusto and passion.”Le Journal de Québec, Canada

“A joyous triumph”，“For all the excitement and sensation of Cirkopolis — world-class acrobats performing spectacular feats against a constantly shifting backdrop of stunning digital video projections .”The Independent, UK

“Acrobats defy gravity in jaw-dropping performances.”New York Times T Magazine, USA

This is a film version to Cirque Éloize's ninth production, Cirkopolis, combining circus arts, theatre and dance to a highly-stylized metropolis setting where acrobats and multidisciplinary artists farewell to monotony, reinvent themselves, and breakthrough the limits of the factory-city.  The production was staged within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, the veil of anonymity and solitude was lifted and replaced by bursts of humour and colour.

Acrobatic performers in the film have been professionally trained to accomplish the feats performed. Audience is advised not to imitate their acts.

Trailer

Positioned at the heart of the renewal of circus arts, Cirque Éloize has been changing the face of circus and carving out a niche in the growing popularity of the field.  With ten unique productions to its credit, Cirque Éloize has presented more than 5 500 performances in over 550 cities and 50 countries.  Their trademark efficiency and mastery of the proscenium stage sets them apart and they often work with talented directors from other disciplines to infuse new concepts into their work.  It has taken part in numerous prestigious international festivals and has seduced both New York's Broadway and London's West End.  Its productions are crafted for a wide range of audiences and have been embraced by over fifty cultures.  For Cirkopolis, Cirque Éloize’s Artistic Director Jeannot Painchaud joined forces with Dave St-Pierre creating a piece that is the perfect escape from the daily drone.
