Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Le Cirque de la Nuit has been at the forefront of working towards new and innovative ways to bring entertainment back to the community safely during these times. By joinng forces with other local organizatons with the same vision including BIG ART , The Drive Inn, Telus Spark, Calgary Pride and Hotels Live we have gained the knowlede and experience to safely produce and execute COVID-friendly events of all kinds!
Le Cirque de la Nuit and BIG ART proudly presents: B!G C!NEMA! An immersive, drive-in, cinematic experience with live action performers, special FX & pyrotechnics! With the pandemic shutting down live events across the globe we needed to think outside the stage/theatre to create new ways to bring live entertainment to our community safely. This summer we launched our first ever, sold out, production of Mad Max: Fury Road at the The DRIVE IN and it was a huge success!! Don’t worry if you missed out, this is the first of many to come so stay tuned! In the meantime here is a little recap video of what you can expect at a B!G C!NEMA experience.
A HUGE shout out to our amazing team of 20+ performers, contributors and our co-creative team (Joey Vedres, Noah Weigel & Justin Dale Furgala Krall) who worked tirelessly to help bring the Mad Max characters & script to life! Everyone’s passion for this project was the driving force to its success and for that we are extremely grateful
Le Cirque de la Nuit, in collaboration with Calgary Pride and Cabaret Calgary, is proud to present: BEYOND THE BIG TOP CABARET! Featuring an exciting lineup of talented performers from the Alberta LGBTQ2s+ & BIPOC communities showcasing a variety of art forms including Drag, Burlesque, Dance, Circus Arts, and live music!
This virtual Cabaret showcase is beaming with Pride as our incredible artists grace the Cirque Nuit stage to present individual performance pieces rooted in the representation of their own unique stories of love and pride. Bringing it all together with comedy and glamour, the one and only Karla Marx from Cabaret Calgary is our honoured host and is guaranteed to delight, followed by the incredible DJ SONIDEF, inspiring you to get your groove on with an amazing live DJ performance!
B!G ART (a collection of misfits, weirdos and immersive artists) in collaboration with Le Cirque de la Nuit is proud to bring you the first annual Scare Wash – a live, in-person, in-vehicle horror show…and free car wash. It’s the least we can do after scaring the living daylight out of you. Also, it protects you, and our cast and crew. DISCLAIMER – Washing the inside of your car is not included, and it may get messy with what we have in store.
If you’re like us, you can’t handle any more “virtual” experiences and you’re looking for the real deal, but covid-friendly(ya, that’s a phrase we use now). This 10 minute + experience will take you to hell and back, in your car, and challenge the most strong-willed, horror-loving guests.
Be prepared for a truly unique, one-of-a-kind experience, complete with live actors, special fx, intelligent lighting, fm transmitted soundtrack and more. The Scare Wash will definitely be something you will never forget…or maybe something you’ll spend years in therapy trying to forget.
