Founded in 2014, Le Cirque Le Roux is a contemporary circus company recognised for its unique and innovative style. Always in pursuit of new ideas, the company integrates circus artists from various countries and backgrounds. Le Cirque Le Roux excels in combining diverse disciplines and the unique personalities of its artists to create original shows that blend acrobatics, theatre, and humour. Engaged yet subtle, their performances explore themes such as solidarity, love, and gender equality.
Their first show, “The Elephant in the Room,” created in 2015, captivated audiences worldwide with its 1930s retro ambiance and impressive acrobatic acts. Praised by critics, this show is often compared to a film due to its cinematic staging and refined aesthetics.
Earning further recognition, the company was nominated for the Molière Award for Visual Creation with “A Deer in the Headlights” in 2019, received the Circus of the Year Award from the newspaper “Le Parisien,” and the “Sold Out” Palm at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They have participated in TV shows such as “Vivement dimanche,” “Le Plus grand cabaret du monde,” and “Le Quotidien.” In 2023, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, the famous Parisian department store, invited Cirque Le Roux to create a unique show. Thus was born “Between Wolves and Dogs,” an innovative performance that charmed and amazed the audience with its boldness and creativity.
Named as the inventor of cine-circus, Cirque Le Roux already has three shows to its credit and is currently preparing a fourth. The company stands out for its originality, refined aesthetics, narrative performances, and technical virtuosity, redefining modern circus expectations and inspiring artists. Their work continues to captivate audiences through their unique creations, consolidating their reputation on the international stage.
