Animal
One of Canada's best circus companies makes its third return to Sydney Festival with a show that turns a day on the farm (quite literally) on its head.
Overview
After wowing audiences with Timber! and Barbu, Cirque Alfonse returns for its third season with Sydney Festival with Animal — a surreal circus experience that flips farm life on its head with jaw-dropping acrobatics, comedic flair and an infectious live soundtrack of "agricultural funk".
Founded in 2005 by Antoine Carabinier-Lépine and his father Alain, the Québec-based Cirque Alfonse is a leading light in Canada's impressive collective of contemporary circus troupes, which includes the internationally famed Cirque du Soleil. In just twenty years, Cirque Alfonse has matured from a small, regional outfit into a major player on circus' world stage, touring major cities all over the globe.
Expect daring juggling, tap dancing, and even a tractor doing wheelies. Founded in 2005 by Antoine and Alain Carabinier-Lépine, this Québec-based, intergenerational circus has toured the world with its unique, authentic style.
