About

At the heart of the circus arts revival, Cirque Éloize has been creating moving performances filled with magic since 1993. Continually striving for artistic perfection, it is one of the leading companies in contemporary circus arts. Based on the multidisciplinary talents of its artists, Cirque Éloize expresses its innovative nature through theatricality and humanity, and combines circus arts with music, dance and theatre in a break-through and original manner. With six original productions to its credit, Cirque Éloize has presented more than 3,000 performances in 330 cities and 30 . . . countries located around the world. Cirque Éloize has taken part in numerous prestigious international festivals and has conquered Broadway with its show Rain.

For the first time in its colorful history Cirque Éloize has embraced the world of urban culture. Their new show ID, directed by Jeannot Painchaud and choreographed by Mourad Merzouki of Compagnie Käfig, features ten circus disciplines against the throbbing backdrop of hip-hop, rock music and sci-fi videos. ID is set in a surreal futuristic city. It explores the issues of individuality, identity and anonymity in a decidedly visual culture, where the omnipresence of image causes us to lose our reference points. This show is about expressing similar values in different codes. The playful energy of ID with its signature mix of uncanny physical feats and gentle poetry that the audiences have come to love in previous Cirque Éloize creations, is an instant hit with wide and diverse audiences.
