Cirque Éloize is back
Canadian contemporary circus crew Cirque Éloize will be back in the West End with iD, its smash-hit show of daring stunts and dazzling theatricality. Running until 8 October at London's Peacock Theatre, the company prides itself on being a thrilling modern circus show which is both daredevil and beautiful. Specifically, iD is an exciting family-friendly production. Directed by Jeannot Painchaud and blending circus arts, acrobatic skills and breakdance, iD transports audiences to a vibrant urban streetscape. The stage fizzes with infectious energy and phenomenal physical feats, as the 15 talented cast members perform against a kaleidoscope of video projections. The show does much to reinforce the company's reputation as a leading circus arts company, with The Peacock theatre especially suited to its escapades and audiences seeking a thrill. The show will celebrate its 1,000th performance in London, having previously toured the world and visited countries including South Africa, Japan and Mexico.
As a result, Cirque Éloize has become a world leader in contemporary circus since the company was founded in 1993. The company specialises in creating shows that fuse circus arts with music, theatre and dance. This special combination sees the company appeal to a wide range of audiences as it is both a mainstream show interspersed with a dazzling display you might expect from a company such as Cirque du Soleil.
At just 23 years old, it has more than 4,000 performances to its credit in around 500 cities around the world. In addition to its touring shows, Cirque Éloize develops customised concepts for international special events, which amount to more than 1,400 to date.
