UPCOMING SHOWS:
Aphrodite:
As well as the reinvention of Cirque Éos' pre-established
shows, we are working on a variety of new and exciting concepts
we hope will revolutionize the world of artistic circus performance.
Oat the top of this list is our three act homage to love and magic
through a telling of Aphrodite’s life (the goddess of love
and desire).
With a blend of music, dialogue, dancing and a variety of high caliber
acrobatics we tell the story of love’s creation, it’s
evolution and its ultimate downfall into the world of conditional
affection and jealousy. With magical elements, and a pool of characters
and resources from Greek mythology, the show combines elements of
multimedia, with theatrical performances, and Cirque quality spectacles
that are as essential to the story as they are a feast for the senses.
Aphrodite is more than a story about love or about a goddess. It
is about the human condition – an ever-changing set of rules
and priorities that serve little more than instant gratification.
But then there are those moments of pure genius and love, when we
transcend our petty nature and do something remarkable to show the
world that love and magic are still here, and still very much essential
to our lives. As essential as air – it sometimes seems.
Imaginair II:
In the Sequel to our first international show, Imaginair II tells
the story of a small girl who is awaken by her dreams to show her
how a life of television and text messaging have wilted all of the
imagination in her mind and teach her to rekindle and reconnect
with the dreams she has created. Guided by a phantom voice named
HELLO and a super hero clown called Laugho who can only communicate
through laughter, she rediscovers the beautiful and endlessly entertaining
world that lives inside her own mind. With the use of holograms,
acrobatics and actual dialogue, Imaginair II is a family show about
the importance of imagination and the dangers of losing it, told
through music, holographic imagery, acrobatics and magic.
LEAP OF FAITH: AN URBAN CIRCUS
This is a performance piece geared towards young adults and mature
audiences. Scored with original music from R&B, Hip Hop and
Rap performers as well as Set Designed by top Graffiti artists from
both NYC and L.A., we plan on revolutionizing the urban scene by
combining break dancing with Parkour acrobatics from Russia and
France. Casual and fast paced, this new form of street stunts is
sweeping the world and is easily translated into the world of Cirque.
Working with talented and undiscovered young acrobats from around
Europe, this show promises to be not only a breakthrough combination
of multimedia, urban culture, and street performances but it also
serves as an amazing showcase for new talent in the music world
as well as the art and underground acrobatic world as well. Anyway:
an Urban Circus will focus on the struggle of living below the line
and how being in a dangerous situation can also by the motivational
springboard for flight and escape.
REAL LIFE:
By combining the unique talents of each of our artists, we create
practical uses for them in real life situations. The story revolves
around a small town where everyday activities like grocery shopping,
dodging someone on the street, climbing a tree, etc. are performed
through amazing performances and comedy routines. By placing these
fantastic feats into real life we create something on another plain,
a flavor of life that is both fun and fantastical. Flife. The town
goes about its business until a stranger appears from our reality.
Someone who isn’t used to Flife and is not impressed by it.
Slowly his presence begins to upset the way things work around town,
as he forces them to change their ways instead of just passing through.
