Starting in a tiny tent in NYC and expanding across continents, Spiegelworld presents Empire is finally making it’s way to Montreal for a six-week run, April 14th to May 24th.
Boasting “somersaulting, slapsticking and stripteasing,” Empire mixes circus, cabaret, variety and burlesque. We got a sneak preview that was very “Monty Python Presents Fifty Shades of Cirque du Soleil.” The show will take place in a 700-seat antique Spiegeltent adorned with mirrors and velvet booths, as well as a speakeasy-style bar, located at the Terrain de SNC-Lavalin at the corner of René-Levesque and Bleury. The spectacle offers plenty of opportunities for audience participation, so you won’t have to run far away to join the circus.
Pasties, garters and tassles are strictly BYO. —Jennifer Nachshen
