Cirque Nouveau

 

Cirque Nouveau

Cirque Nouveau is a relatively new form of performing art where a story or a theme is conveyed by using the traditional circus arts.

History


Nouveau Cirque was established in France in 1970s. At first it was an underground artform that quickly became popular with larger audiences.

Artform


Cirque Nouveau is a novel concept where lots of different artforms are combined to entertain and convey a story. Such artforms include juggling, trapeze, acting, music and tissue.
Cirque Nouveau is typically performed indoors rather than in large outdoor tents. Music used in the performances is often composed exclusively for that performance and is often performed by live bands. Animal acts are not a part of Cirque Nouveau.
