Nadine Marchand, Artistic Director of MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE, was on Tout un matin on Radio-Canada today to announce an “almost circus” version of the annual festival, which normally takes place in the streets and theaters of the Quebec metropolis in July.
As of July 7, 2020, the festival will unfold in two parts. Firstly, unusual performances will be filmed Au hasard de la ville to create a series of short films, which will be broadcast on ici.art.tv.ca, ICI Tou.tv, and ICI ARTV.
Secondly, with Bonheur mobile, an initiative initially conceived by Cirque Alfonse artists to brighten the lives of Hochelaga-Maisonneuve residents, circus artists will, this time, animate several city districts, including the Quartier des spectacles. The roving performances will not be announced to avoid creating crowds.
Will you have the chance to see the performances pass by your home?
Finally, a contest, in collaboration with Radio-Canada, starts this Monday, June 29, at noon! Enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets for Cirque Alfonse’s new creation, the show Anima the farm story, presented at TOHU in the coming year, a one-year subscription to ICI TOU.TV Extra, and two VIP passes for the 2021 edition of MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CiRQUE. You have until July 31 to participate. The draw will take place on August 3 at noon.
