Quidam Banquine Cirque du Soleil Montreal QC Presentation Jan, 2011.

Back to January 2011 in Montreal IHQ 🎪
My first Cirque du Soleil's show and creation of Quidam with the iconic circus act "Banquine".
First big presentation before going on a big stage and performing for a big live audience.
It was loooong training process for almost a year. But definitely productive!

This has to be one of the absolute BEST acts that Cirque du Soleil has EVER produced! I could watch this troop all day.

[@CirqueArt]

That was an iconic show in general. But the act had a great chemistry 🧪 Thank you for your feedback 🙏🏼

[@pedrohcramos]

This act is so amazing. Had the opportunity to watch it under the big top. Quidam was a great show. One of my favorites

[@CirqueArt]

Thank you 🙏🏼 This act is iconic 😊 When did you watch it? And where?

[@ryani369]

I’m really glad we got to see this!! Presentation is such a big deal in Montreal, especially for a legacy show, thank you for posting.

[@CirqueArt]

yes... technically it's the last step before going to the big stage 😁

Thanks again Andrii/Shaggy! In 2006 I saw 3 Quidam shows in California & 3 in Ohio, including 1 special "Royale" or "Imperial" version of Banquine since Guy & Franco were visiting. Truly jaw-dropping acrobatics & choreography by your team, & the song "Misere" takes it to another level.

[@CirqueArt]

Thank you for visiting. And I really appreciate your feedback 🙏🏼

[@hooneysea]

Incredible.

[@hectoraguilar8165]

Wonderful, thanks for uploading it, for me it is one of the best acts of the whole cirque du doleil. Who is the smallest ballerina?

[@CirqueArt]

Thank you! She's not a ballerina even if the costume looks like 😁 The name of the character is Albino Girl

[@Junillustrationart]

What's the purpose of a presentation like this? Are the people in the audience people who have never seen the show before or are they people who were also working on the show? I love so much about this entire act, but one thing I'm particularly amazed by is how weightless the performers make the human body seem.

[@CirqueArt]

Thank you for your commentary and your feedback. Presentation - is a normal thing. It takes part in Cirque du Soleil’s HQ for some employers (who are working in the other departments like wardrobe, costume makers etc), some guests that have never seen it, kids, other circus schools students etc. And normally for the performers it’s kind of “graduation” before actually joining the existing show or before premiere. And yes… it supposed to look weightless like it’s so easy like anyone can do it. But the same time audience understand that it’s not that easy 😊

[@Junillustrationart]

@@CirqueArt I see! Thank you for answering, I really appreciate it! I've always loved Cirque du Soleil, but recently I've just become obsessed with all things Cirque. I've been watching every bit I can find online. Thank you so much for sharing this content!
