Touring Immersive Show · Cirque Éloize · 4 Cities · 2021–2023

ROLE Technical Director
EMPLOYER Cirque Éloize
TIMELINE Jan 2021 – Jan 2023
TEAM Up to 30 technicians

A large-scale immersive touring show created by Cirque Éloize, deployed across four cities over two years — Montréal, Québec City, Saskatoon, and Niagara Falls. The production combined AV, scenic design, and live performance elements in non-purpose-built venues, and no two buildings shared the same structural, electrical, or spatial configuration. Each city was a full technical rebuild from scratch.

Between each deployment, the entire installation was torn down, transported, and reassembled on a compressed timeline. The final leg — Niagara Falls — crossed into the United States, adding customs, equipment import, and cross-border regulatory complexity to an already dense operational rhythm. Through two years and four cities, crew safety and show reliability had to be maintained across significantly different regulatory environments.

All cities opened on schedule. The show completed its full run without major technical incidents.
