Music Hall Proudly presents Cirque Éloize: NEBBIA (Italian for fog), the third part of the Sky Trilogy, which takes inspiration from the most ethereal of the elements, fog, for three amazing performances, Friday, February 27 (8PM), Saturday, February 28th (8PM) and Sunday, March 1st (3PM). This heady combination of art, circus, acrobatics and theatre blurs the boundaries between all of these disciplines creating a unique performance experience that will leave you breathless.
Wild, witty, wet and altogether winning. - New York Times
Éloize: Pronounced [EL-WAZ] is a word that comes from the Magdalen Islands and means “flashes of heat lightning seen on the horizon”. As an inspiration for the troupe's founding members, this lightning symbolizes the heat and energy that feed the troupe's spirit.
Cirque Éloize: NEBBIA is the third part of the Sky Trilogy in which the fog takes center stage and reality is transformed into dreamy surrealist environment, blending acrobatic theater and modern circus.
NEBBIA is directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca and co-produced by Cirque Éloize and Teatro Sunil. Following upon Nomade and Rain, NEBBIA completes the trilogy dedicated to the sky.
NEBBIA is at the crossroads where acrobatic theatre, modern circus, and performance come together, Emotion and sensuality exudes through the music and singing in the collaborative process embraced by Cirque Éloize and Teatro Sunil. The musical score for this new creation becomes a character in its own right, carrying on a dialogue with the twelve on-stage performers.
It's not just the circus. It's pure poetry. - Le Parisien
