From Montreal’s masters of the

a bewitching new award-winning
show visually inspired by Fritz
Lang’s legendary film Metropolis.
CIRCUS IN MOTION
MELBOURNE FESTIVAL IN ASSOCIATION WITH
PHILIP AND CAROLINE CORNISH PRESENTS
In a grey, industrialised world, a
bored office worker’s imagination
takes flight, transforming his
workplace into a wonderland of
juggling, jaw-dropping acrobatics
and exquisite contortion.
Bursting with stylish, spellbinding
visuals, Cirkopolis is an astounding
feast of gravity-defying acts,
sinuous movement and transporting
original music – a joyous blend of
spectacle, creativity and skill from
some of the best circus performers
on the planet.
Cirkopolis is a production of Les Productions
Neuvart Inc. The creation of this show was
possible thanks to the support of these Cirque
Éloize partners: Société de développement
des entreprises culturelles (SODEC), Crédits
d’impôt spectacle du gouvernement du
Québec, Conseil des arts et des lettres du
Québec, Conseil des arts de Montréal et
Conseil des arts du Canada, The Center for
the Performing Arts at Penn State University
and Place des Arts.
