Based on the multidisciplinary talents of its artists, Cirque Eloize expresses its innovative nature through theatricality and humanity, and combines circus arts with music, dance and theatre in a breakthrough and original manner. With six original productions to its credit, Cirque Eloize has presented more than 3,000 performances in 330 cities and 30 countries located around the world. Cirque Eloize has taken part in numerous prestigious international festivals and has conquered Broadway with its show Rain.
In addition to its tour performances, Cirque Eloize develops personalized concepts for international special events. To date, more than 500 events have taken place. Moreover, in 2003, Cirque Eloize organized the first circus arts festival in North America – “La Semaine des Arts du cirque” – in the Magdalen Islands. The company also founded the Fondation Eloize, which has a mission to help underprivileged youth through an introduction to circus arts and help develop the performing arts. The troupe “Artcirq”, made up of young Inuit living in Canada’s far north (Nunavut), is the first organization to benefit from this support.
Since 2004, Cirque Eloize’s head office and creative studio are located in the Gare Dalhousie, a historical building which housed the Ecole nationale de cirque of Montreal from 1986 to 2003. In order to maintain this site as a place for dialogue and encounters for the circus community, Cirque Eloize invites up-and-coming artists to visit. Today, the company includes approximately 100 individuals working in various teams and on various projects.
