“A tour-de-force.”
- The Herald
In the 1930s, caught between her husband, the valet and her lover, the divine Miss Betty welcomes us into her lounge. Cigars, whisky, door slamming, and remarkable acrobatics create a turbulent amorous intrigue. Hidden amongst the plush ambiance, quarrels and dramatic sagas lies an elephant in the room that’s taking up more and more space…
An uncommon tableau, an explosion of aesthetics and happy madness, this bit of slapstick from Cirque Le Roux is a unique blend of circus arts, Hollywood film noir and physical theatre. An absolute original, The Elephant in the Room will seduce you with its refined atmosphere and four magnificent performers who stem from the National Circus Schools in Montreal and Brussels.
A theatrical masterpiece!
Circus disciplines:
Hand-to-hand acts, Chinese pole, acrobatics, balancing acts
About Cirque Le Roux
Three Frenchmen and an American, three boys and a girl, three graduates of the National Circus School in Montreal and one from the École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque in Brussels—all brought together by their love for circus arts. The four members of Cirque Le Roux are accomplished artists who’ve traveled the world with such troupes as Les 7 doigts de la main. After recently appearing in the Broadway show Pippin—winner of four Tony Awards—this summer Cirque Le Roux brings us The Elephant in the Room, the troupe’s first show.
