After a hiatus, Jeannot Painchaud returns to direct this show that positively crackles with daring and modernity. Created in 2009, Cirque Éloize’s iD blends circus arts and urban dance: b-boying/b-girlin, breakdance, and hip-hop.

Set in a public space in the heart of a city, people seek refuge and a chance to shed their anonymity. Stimulated with a soundtrack created by composers Jean-Phi Goncalves (Beast) and Alex McMahon, this is a place where identities are forged and individuality is expressed.

In this 8th original creation, the company breaks new ground by integrating multimedia, producing a unique feel. Fifteen performers from 12 disciplines create iD’s entertaining and resolutely urban universe, which is in keeping with Cirque’s tradition of using multidisciplinary performers from around the world.
