Founded in 2005 in Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, Quebec, Cirque Alfonse has built a reputation for blending circus artistry with live traditional music and elements of theatre. Their productions weave strong storytelling with high-level acrobatics, all performed to vibrant folk and electro-trad soundscapes. The company gained early international momentum after the Tabarnak program premiered at Montreal’s Complètement CiRQUE in 2017, and exposure at the Adelaide Fringe in 2018 helped propel their profile across multiple continents.
Across touring seasons, Cirque Alfonse has continued to tour widely, bringing vibrant, rustic-chic performances to audiences from Canada to Europe, Australia, and beyond. The troupe remains dedicated to collaborative creation, rooted in Quebec’s cultural heritage while embracing global stages.
Discography highlights show the evolution of Cirque Alfonse’s sound and story. Their most recent release, Animal (2022), sits alongside earlier works Tabarnak (2018) and Musique de barbus (2015). These records underscore the group’s commitment to live, instrument-driven performance that complements their stage shows.
