Le Maître-Nageur
Cirque Éloize to stage an outdoor show at Parc Jean-Drapeau
On a glorious beach, in a calm and soothing setting, the Maître-Nageur is masterfully in control of the premises. The arrival of a troupe of enthusiastic youngsters will unleash a festive energy that the Maître-Nageur will scarcely be able to temper. In a contemporary yet nostalgic style, harkening to the 60's, the beach will become the theatre for some truly astounding acrobatic skills.
Drawing on the multi-disciplinary talents of the artists, visitors will be witnesses to an extraordinary performance which, in an original manner, defines circus and theatrical arts, where the quirky Maître-Nageur spares no effort in maintaining total control of the situation, evoking gales of laughter in the process.
The Maître-Nageur's performances will be held in the P9 parking lot, an enclosed area that has been specially set up to comply with the health department's social distancing guidelines.
