Cirque Éloize will present a new show, Between Sky and Sea, from July 9 to August 13 in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine when Cirque du Soleil will present Long live our divas from July 20 to August 20 at the Cogeco Amphitheater in Trois-Rivières.
Posted at 11:44 a.m.
The Cirque Éloize show will occupy The Seine, a new room set up in the church of Havre-Aubert, in the heart of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Michel-Maxime Legault will direct the show, which will combine storytelling, acrobatics and music.
The public will see 12 acrobats or musicians on stage, as well as storyteller Cédric Landry. We describe Between sky and sea as “a complete immersion in island stories that have criss-crossed the Islands, from generation to generation, returning with the sound of the waves and the smell of seaweed”.
