Montreal proudly launched the first edition of Montréal Complètement cirque, a circus festival held from July 8 to 25.
MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CIRQUE, born of a collective dream, seeks to be an event that unifies and mobilizes people. It will contribute to the promotion of a wide array of circus arts forms, and in so doing will help position Montréal as a cultural metropolis and circus arts capital.
With the creation of MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CIRQUE, Montréal is taking its place as the world’s premier circus destination. The Festival aims to highlight the talent of our homegrown artists while creating spaces where the most talented representatives of the circus world will meet.
The movers and shakers of Montréal’s circus arts world had been dreaming, playing with the idea of creating a major circus arts festival in Montréal. La TOHU, the project’s driving force, with the support of Cirque Éloize, Les 7 doigts de la main, Cirque du Soleil, the National Circus School and En Piste, pooled their expertise, resources and efforts to create a regular summer event, free of language barriers and destined to attract the attention of thousands of people each year who love creative entertainment.
Many students and alumni of the National Circus School are performing in during this first edition. Discover them now!
