Machine de cirque

Machine de Cirque is a contemporary circus company in Quebec City that combines acrobatics with music and theatrical art using construction frameworks, trapezes, bicycles, and percussion instruments. The performances blend these diverse elements together to create a distinctive artistic form.

The company was founded in 2013 by six artists including Vincent Dubé and Frédéric Lebrasseur who wanted to create a new circus language. Since its establishment, the ensemble has grown to perform across multiple continents.

The performances transform everyday objects like bicycles and construction materials into artistic expressions that resonate across cultural boundaries. This approach creates a connection between audiences and physical feats using familiar items.

The company maintains a base in Quebec City and travels regularly to perform across Europe, Asia, and North America. It is best to check ahead about performance schedules and locations since the company is frequently on tour.

A teeterboard duo from the company holds a Guinness World Record for consecutive backflips on the Korean plank. This remarkable feat was broadcast in Times Square and gained worldwide attention.
