Coups de cœur

This unmissable event for all circus aficionados is in its 5th year. The show is directed by Anthony Venisse—known for his praised MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE creations. It features a selection of the most talented artists from around the world. It’s a true celebration of the circus in all its forms. Each performance is both playful and highly emotional, and hosted by a colourful master of ceremonies. It emphasizes excellence, diversity and creativity. The magnificent circular hall, adorned with red velvet, mirrors and chandeliers, takes the audience into the plush and intimate atmosphere of Spiegeltents and cabarets. Emotion and awe collide as carefully chosen acts are performed in their original format, following each other to make a fabulous portrait of contemporary circus. Incredible discoveries await, with impressive artists of diverse backgrounds—members of the most high-profile companies!
