The story

Montreal Completement Cirque in Montreal

Montreal Completement Cirque turns the city's status as a global circus training hub into an eleven-day July festival, staged mainly at TOHU, the purpose-built circus venue in Saint-Michel, with free outdoor performances also filling the Quartier des Spectacles downtown. International companies and graduates of Montreal's circus schools share the program, ranging from full theatrical spectacles to single-apparatus solo shows.

Montreal Completement Cirque grew out of the city's status as a global hub for circus training, seeded by the presence of the National Circus School and Cirque du Soleil's headquarters just a few kilometers from the festival's home venue, TOHU, a circular performance hall built specifically for circus arts in the Saint-Michel neighborhood.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's link to Montreal's circus infrastructure, including the National Circus School and Cirque du Soleil's headquarters nearby, means performers here often move on to major international companies, giving early audiences a preview of talent before it becomes widely known

02

The mystery stays covered

Splitting programming between TOHU's purpose-built ring and free outdoor stages downtown lets visitors choose between an immersive ticketed evening and a casual afternoon of street-level acrobatics

03

The city starts moving

Daytime workshops and family matinees make the discipline approachable for visitors without a late-night ticket, while the evening shows push toward more ambitious, narrative staging
