Five strangers receive a mysterious invitation that, one stormy night, leads them, to an old, abandoned building in the heart of the forest. The visitors will discover that this house has a soul and a personality all its own. When you’ve been invited by the house, and when you cross its threshold, you have the strange impression, already… But there will also be fun and good cheer, and some amazing acrobatic feats! Join master trickster and his friends for this amazing acrobatic comedy from FLIP Fabrique, where mundane turns to magical, and ingenuity’s always involved! On this planet, there are just six degrees of separation between us all. And since there are only five people on stage, what if the sixth person— the missing link—was you?
FLIP Fabrique grew out of the friendship and dream of circus performers in 2011. The company designs high quality and playful shows punctuated by breathtaking and truly elegant performances. With more than 1000 performances to their credit and with shows such as “Attrape-Moi”, “Transit” and “Blizzard”, in more than 21 countries, FLIP Fabrique is made up of world-class multidisciplinary performers. They have worked with the prestigious Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize, and taken part in many international circus festivals. In cooperation with the City of Québec, summer shows “Crépuscule” and “Féria” were attended by 500,000 people since 2015. FLIP Fabrique brings a fresh take on contemporary circus, coupled with an uncanny ability to have fun and move an audience. They translate from life to life, from the heart to the heart, the body to the body.
While most of the acts are admirably successful, and the performances of the artists are breathtaking, some parts are particularly mesmerizing.
