Cirque Eloize iD Stuns Crowd Featured

Written by

Dangerous stunts and rubber-like contortionists are only part of the fun when it comes to the most recent version of Cirque Eloize, but as the phrase goes, "there’s so much more". And there is. Directed by Jeannot Painchaud, Cirque Eloize iD grabs artists from all over the world to bring to life a unique reality consisting of urban street dancing to electronic and hip hop music, aerial acrobatics, romantic themed choreography, stunning bicycle feats, in-line skating, stilts, juggling, hypnotic lighting effects and an exclusively designed trampoline display using their "trampowall".

There are no language barriers present at Cirque Eloize iD, as everything is carefully set to music, body language and human emotion, making words an unnecessary function – yet each message is precisely conveyed to the audience.

Cirque Eloize is energetic and youthful, and, above all, is mind-blowing. From the show’s beginning to its end, "oohs" and "aahs" are heard throughout the theatre with regularity along with the more enthusiastic outbursts of "Cmon!", "I don’t believe it!" and "Did you see that?" Still, as high energy and exciting as Cirque Eloize iD is, there is also a fair share of beautifully executed romantic acts comprised of graceful dance movements, soft lighting and other variations of skillfully dangerous stunts, giving the show a balanced flow from sequence to sequence.

Cirque Eloize iD is playing at the Cadillac Palace Theatre at 151 W. Randolph in Chicago through Sunday, May 8th. For tickets or more information visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com or call (312) 977-1710
