Andy Giroux (1979-2025) 

In Memory of Andy Giroux

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Andy Giroux, a beloved and respected circus artist in our community. His talent, sensitivity, and generosity left a lasting mark on our hearts and on the stage.

For those who wish to gather and honor his memory, an informal meeting will take place this Wednesday, July 30 at 8:30 PM at Parc Lalancette (corner of Iberville and Hochelaga, Montréal). Bring a blanket, an instrument, a soft light — or simply your presence.

Let’s take care of one another.

Andy, you remain with us in every movement, every laugh, every suspended light.
