Cirque Alfonse – Animal

Cirque Alfonse is made up of three generations of one Quebecois family – 66-year-old Grandfather and amateur clown Alain Carabinier, his two children, Antoine, 32, and Julie, 29, who are a trained circus acrobat and a trained dancer respectively, Julie’s partner Jonathan, 32, a trained circus acrobat who has performed in Cirque Du Soleil’s Love, and their 2-year-old son, Arthur. The family are supported by live musicians, two of whom are friends of the family who grew up in villages nearby. Members of Cirque Alfonse have worked with some of the world’s most renowned companies including Cirque du Soleil, Cirkus Cirkor and les 7 doigts de la main.

with a touch of irreverence, impressive virtuosity and the company’s familiar comic touch. In this re-invented agricultural world, the farm is turned upside down! Yet again, the Cirque Alfonse clan has favoured its multidisciplinary approach where circus, song, dance and theatre all come together, driven by original live music… an irresistible mix of trad and soul that the troupe calls agricultural funk! A production for young and old alike, Animal is the farm gone haywire!
