Cirque Life pulls back the curtain on Cirque du Soleil and reveals an unprecedented look at the smash hit LUZIA. The cast and crew return home to Montreal for the first time since the show’s 2016 premiere, for an unforgettable summer under the big top. Amid roaring crowds and rising expectations, cameras capture every triumph and challenge as they grapple with up to ten performances a week during an epic four-month run. There’s no margin for error as this committed troupe keeps up with jaw-dropping acrobatics, life in the limelight, and a gruelling non-stop pace. From the hoop diver captain and veteran contortionist to the pole soloist, it’s an immersive, heartwarming, and exhilarating experience that celebrates the human spirit—and reveals the exceptional talent, commitment, and courage it takes to be part of the team. Cirque Life is produced by Cineflix Productions, with international distribution by Cineflix Rights. The Executive Producers include Tanya Blake and J.C. Mills for Cineflix; and Richard Lowell and Susan Levison for Cirque du Soleil.
