July 4 to 14 at 6 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. (excluding Monday July 8).
During the Montréal Complètement Cirque festival, the GIANT proudly returns to the Esplanade of Place Ville Marie. This years entirely new show will feature 10-year-old krump prodigy, Adeline Cruz, accompanied by 11 circus artists and dancer, W!mz.
The giant sized tale of youth and feminine power was written, choreographed and directed by Gypsy Snider (Dear San Francisco, Réversible, Intersection, Amuse, Un Dia, Traces and Loft). GÉANTE! tells the story of a child raised by a village she will inherit one day. This young soul awakens, strong yet shaken by the weight of responsibility.
Can we imagine for her a future where earth and humanity flourish respectfully and inclusively? Will the hopes and challenges of the world rest on her tiny shoulders?
