You can almost smell the fresh-cut pine logs and the sweat of the lumberjacks as the performers of Cirque Alfonse rollick to traditional music. This young circus troupe formed by a family and their friends from Quebec draws on their folk roots as inspiration for TIMBER!, an original creative project that is clearly off the beaten track. Among the daring feats on display, performers juggle with axes, somersault across razor-sharp log saws, and blend bouncy clog dancing with spellbinding aerial acrobatics, all accompanied by a live band singing colourful Québécois folk songs. There’s even a bungee-jumping granddad! Together with other heart-stopping routines and comic interludes, it adds up to an enthralling encounter from start to finish.
