Inspired by the village church that was once the gathering place of the small Quebec community where they grew up, the Cirque Alfonse has created their newest production, »Tabarnak«. Having the feel of something like a rock-musical, this is an invitation to come together, a celebration of Heaven and Hell and everything in between, a fiesta of circus, music and reaching for the sky … all in the inimitable style of Cirque Alfonse.

Starting with the Quebecois expletive »Tabarnak«, that was once a rebellious cry against authority and is now a rather banal expression of pain, anger or astonishment, Cirque Alfonse gives us its own take on the sacred and the profane and serves up its own unbridled ‘’high mass’’. From the basement to the nave, from the altar to the choir, Cirque Alfonse, inspired by its roots and stirring up memories of the past as only this troupe can do, gives a fresh take on such a highly symbolic place and gives it a more up-to-date feel!
