For the next five summers, Cirque du Soleil and director Robert Lepage will help keep Quebec City afloat by performing in the streets. Here’s more:
- The Cirque is going back to its roots — street performances — for the Quebec City show, which also coincides with the Cirque’s 25th anniversary this year. Lamarre released very few details about the show, aside from its title, The Dream Continues, and the fact it will bring together 100 circus artists for an hour-long show in the streets of Quebec’s lower town, not far from where the Robert Lepage show will take place. The free outdoor performances will run five days a week, and will start in late June.
As for Lepage, he will bring back a new version of his popular Image Mill, an outdoor projection that was one of the highlights of the 400th celebrations. The multimedia extravaganza will be shown on a 600-metre row of grain silos transformed into the world’s largest outdoor projection screen.
