Running away with the circus? Acrobatic artists take over Montreal

Have you ever wanted to try your hand at balancing on a tightrope or hanging off a trapeze?

Maybe become a hula hoop master or bounce on a trampoline wall?

The Complètement Cirque festival, which celebrates circus arts, is taking over Montreal until July 17.

People can discover their inner acrobat through a variety of free outdoor shows on Saint-Denis Street.

However, if jumping through hoops isn’t quite your thing, you can go see one of the festival’s many shows – including Transit by Flipe FabriQue, a circus troupe from Quebec City.

The company was formed in 2011 after a group of students from the Quebec City Circus School graduated and were looking for a creative way to explore what they had learned.

“Looking back at a friendship that’s more than 10 years in the making, these partners are still going strong—and saying it with daring acrobatic feats,” the group states.

Flipe FabriQue has performed around the world with Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize.
