Montréal Complètement Cirque

Between now and the 14th of Juy, Montréal becomes Circus City with the return of the Montréal Complètement Cirque festival (4th edition).

The festival opened last night with a short parade of circus artist’s that began at the corner of Ontario and Saint-Denis and ended with an acrobatic performance at Place Émilie Gamelin – a short preview of Babel produced by Anthony Venisse that will be performed each night between 9pm and 10pm.

Babel certainly looks like a performance worth catching if you are in Montréal…plus lot’s of other free (and paid) shows to see between now and the 13th – for full schedule, head over to Montréal Complètement Cirque website.

On my way to the circus parade I passed through the jazz festival and by coincidence there was a girl doing a performance with a big hoop. Since I was a bit early for the parade I stopped to grab a few pictures and decided to shoot extended exposures to emphasize the movement.

I swung by the Jazz festival on the way back and too and managed to shoot a couple of shows and will share tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time.
