CANADA’S internationally acclaimed circus company Cirque Éloize bring a spectacular circus and dance show, Cirkopolis to Mayflower Theatre next week ( March 11-14).

A world leader in contemporary circus and a firm favourite in the West End, Cirque Éloize combines circus arts with music, dance and theatre.

Based in Montreal, the company has been creating thrilling performances since 1993.

In Cirkopolis 12 multidisciplinary artists including acrobats, jugglers, contortionists and aerial artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves and challenge limits.

Performing within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, the company creates a world where fantasy provokes reality, the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of colour and imagination.

Directed by Artistic Director Jeannot Painchaud and co-directed and choreographed by Dave St-Pierre, Cirkopolis seeks to transport performers and spectators between dream and reality in a stream of acrobatics, music, images and drawings.
