La Noce d'Alfonse is a kitschy, tender celebration of love in all its forms. An invitation to the public to experience a freak-show of the heart, where caustic humor, circus performance and live music collide in festive poetry. This daring and sometimes saucy procession is punctuated each evening by a series of acrobatic and amorous tableaux, celebrating the union of one lucky couple in the audience. Generously sauced in 70s aesthetics, the event evolves interactively. It's offbeat and dripping with the kind of skids you'd expect from a formal wedding, set against a musical backdrop of Caribbean accents and Quebecois trad. The perfect marriage of vintage past and the promise of a joyous future. Please respond to the invitation in good spirits and in your finest attire, because we're waiting for you to throw the bouquet.
About
Cirque Alfonse
Cirque Alfonse was built around the desire to collaborate with family members and friends, but above all with the desire to perpetuate a tradition of travelling family circus, in a contemporary version, which does not deny our Quebec roots.
It is from a core group composed of Antoine Carabinier and Geneviève Gauthier, circus artists, Julie Carabinier, contemporary dance performer and Alain Carabinier, old artist at heart, that Cirque Alfonse was built.
Born in 2005 in the Lanaudière region of Quebec by the Carabinier-Lépine family and their close friends, the company created its first show in 2006 with La Brunante.
With the collaboration of Alain Francoeur, director, and Nicolas Descoteaux, lighting designer, the circus acts come to life in dance and play, with the idea of reviving traditional music wakes with spoons, jigs and clappers, where the whole bastringue has a great time. The adventure begins!
