Miami, FL – July 8, 2016 – The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County celebrated the premiere of CIRKOPOLIS, the critically-acclaimed, Drama Desk Award-winning show by Montreal-based circus troupe Cirque Éloize, as its marquee presentation for summer 2016. After two successful runs in 2011 and 2015 with their high-energy production of iD, artistic director Jeannot Painchaud and his talented cast return to Miami to wow fans with a new spectacle in the Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House. With CIRKOPOLIS, Cirque Éloize takes their breathtaking blend of circus arts, theater, and dance to a highly-stylized metropolitan setting, where 11 acrobats and multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves and challenge the limits of the factory-city as only they can. Accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, the artists live in a world where fantasy defies reality — the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of color.
