Cirque Éloize ID February 15, 2011

Adult $38 | University Park Student $22 | 18 and Younger $27

For the first time in its colorful history, Cirque Éloize (serk El-waz) has embraced the world of urban culture. The Montreal company’s new show ID features ten circus disciplines against the throbbing backdrop of hip-hop, rock music, and science fiction videos. Set in a surreal futuristic city, ID explores individuality, identity, and anonymity in a decidedly visual culture, where the omnipresence of images causes us to lose our reference points. The show is about expressing similar values in different codes. The playful energy of ID, with its signature mix of uncanny physical feats and the gentle poetry that audiences have come to love about Cirque Éloize, is sure to enchant diverse audiences. The company last appeared at Eisenhower Auditorium in a February 2006 performance of Rain.

Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders.
