Bon Voyage by Cirque Éloize

Bon Voyage is a 60-minute immersive family show combining live arts, acrobatics and 360° mapping projection. In 1885, Montreal, the country's economic metropolis, is going through difficult times, and the new mayor, Honoré Beaugrand, is facing a number of challenges. It was amid this turbulence that Dalhousie Station was built. A symbol of national unity, the creation of the Trans-Canada Railway is a project with immense social and political ramifications, at the very roots of the creation of Canada.
Join the artists as they plunge into the hustle and bustle of late 19th-century Montreal, and enjoy the fantastic experience of the first train journey from Dalhousie Station to Port Moody, British Columbia, on June 28, 1886.
The immersive Bon Voyage show, directed by Fernand Rainville, will be presented from July 3, 2024 in the creative studios located in the former Dalhousie Station, in the heart of Old Montreal.

Documentary: "Grazing The Sky" at cinéma Beaubien

“Grazing the Sky” offers a revealing look at the incredible physical feats of circus acrobats and tells compelling stories of men and women facing adversity, including the real risk of serious and irreversible injury. The price of life in the spotlight includes years of study and practice, iron discipline, a constant commitment to learning new skills and relentless travel far from home. The film takes us from circus schools in Turin, Lisbon, Brussels... to Cirque du Soleil in Montreal. Director Horacio Alcalá has been involved in the circus arts for seven years. For this film, he traveled to 11 different countries over five years to capture the personal stories of circus artists. He discovered a new reality where future artists can learn their craft in specialized schools rather than through family inheritance. The trapeze becomes a metaphor for life's ambitions, made poignant by the ever-present risk of falling."
