In memory of Andy Giroux
It is with immense sadness that we learn of the passing of Andy Giroux, a deeply loved and respected circus artist in his community. His talent, sensitivity, and generosity have left a lasting mark on our hearts and in the ring.
For those who wish to gather together and share a moment in his memory, an informal gathering will take place on Wednesday, July 30, at 8:30 p.m. at Lalancette Park (corner of Iberville and Hochelaga, Montreal).
Bring a blanket, an instrument, a soft light—or just your presence.
Let’s take care of each other.
Andy, you remain with us in every movement, every laugh, every suspended light.
