CIRQUE PHOENIX
Cirque Phoenix features artists who have performed with Cirque du Soleil on their North American and European tours. They combine breath taking acrobatics and memorizing fire to create a truly unique experience. Acts include aerial silk and hoop performers, Chair stacking and a unique structure called Tesseract. Fire connects them to their mythical namesake and drives the passion in their shows.
THE ACTS
|
 |
FIRE |
| As the Phoenix, Kira’s world is fire, touching, breathing, eating, - an expert in the art of fire manipulation. Beautiful dance combines with the danger of fire as the character of the phoenix performs both classic fire tricks such as fire eating, as well as, some more unique acts as the burning headdress. This performance is a great segue to other entertainment elements. |
| The phoenix emerges from a pyrotechnic display as a giant flower which opens to reveal the performers inside. The phoenix continues with a fire show that includes a flaming headdress and a spectacular fire swinging finale.

AERIAL SILKS
Aerial silks’ a product of the new age of circus is an exciting and sensuous act. The beautiful acrobats perform as high as the venue allows using the entire length of the fabric used as the stage. Feats of strength, graceful figures and breath taking tumbles are executed by intertwining body and fabric. The act can be performed as a solo, a duet, or a trio to enhance this already stunning performance |
TRICEAU
It looks simple to begin with… 3 intertwined metal hoops suspended in the air. The performers begin to twist and contort inside, spinning and swinging, the sense of danger mounts. Strength, flexibility and agility allow these acrobats to manipulate their bodies around the hoops to form graceful shapes and perform awe-inspiring acrobatic skills as they spiral in an elegant aerial dance. |
 |
 |
STACK
One table, four chairs, one man balancing on top. The act evolves as the chairs are stacked in ever higher and more complicated patterns. The chairs have been designed to let them stack together in a unique way, creating a new twist on a traditional act. |
TESSERACT
Performed on a unique structure, this award winning act combines highly technical acrobatics with smooth balancing and choreography. Created by Peter Boulanger, this act is performed by two former Cirque du Soleil acrobats, who have showcased their acrobatic talents around the world. |

 |
CONTORTION
One table, four chairs, one man balancing on top. The act evolves as the chairs are stacked in ever higher and more complicated patterns. The chairs have been designed to let them stack together in a unique way, creating a new twist on a traditional act. |
TRAPEZE DUO
A bit of a twist on a traditional act. The circus has long featured dramatic aerial acts. A trapeze is hung from a single point, so that the two women performing can spin in a circle, as well as use each other as leverage. Trust and strength are at a premium as the two acrobats climb and balance on the high trapeze. |
 |
 |
SKYLADDER
The newest creation by Peter Boulanger, Skyladder is a delicate looking collection of bars and wires, reaching up to 32 feet in length, and hung from up to 40 feet high. The acrobats move up and down the entire length of the structure, using both wires and bars and each other to influence their movement. Skyladder can be performed as a solo structure, or as two separate structures performed simultaneously. |
MINI TEETERBOARD
Mini teeterboard - a light hearted classical look at a miniature teeterboard act, with veteran street performers Peter Boulanger and Ninon Parent showing off their physical comedy. From P.T. Barnum to Cirque du Soleil this routine has been an important segment of almost every circus act. Flips and laughs! |
 |
 |
HAND TO HAND
Fluid movements, precise balance, unfaltering concentration and stunt action come together to form this hand balancing act. Grace and flexibility counterpoint strength and power as bodies perform an acrobatic, high energy, comedic free for all. Hand Balancing showcases more then special circus skills of superbly conditioned athletics. Always a showstopper and a jaw dropper! |
ICAIAN
Rarely seen in circus shows today, foot-juggling is one of the oldest circus arts disciplines. The principle is simple: the bearer lies on his back and twirls the voltigeur on his feet. Foot-juggling acrobats often come from the same family. One performers lies on his back on a low table, and manipulates his partner with his feet, throwing her for flips and catches. It is truly display of power, trust and skill. |
 |
 |
CUBE MANIPULATION
The structure is an outline of a cube, 5 feet to a side, made of thin polished aluminum struts. When it's spun, the reflections off the struts create a 3 dimensional light show, hypnotic in it's holographic illusion. There is beauty in this flowing artwork that captures and engages the audience. |
GLO JUGGLING DUO
Juggling is a very old form of entertainment. This traditional circus skill is adapted to today's audience with the use of glow balls. Rhythmic and hypnotizing, Iain and Melissa weave patterns of glowing balls in the dark, creating a cascade of light. |
 |
 |
POI
Fire is a primal element and always touches something deep in the human experience. Poi Balls are always an exciting and dramatic presentation. The poi artist can also use illuminated balls to achieve a wonderful and amazing manipulation of light and movement. |
