The exhibition "Place au cirque!" invites you to discover the history of the circus from its very beginnings up to the circus "revolution" in Quebec!
This installation was presented at Pointe-à-Callière, Montreal Archaeology and History Complex in the Old Port of Montreal. We thus offer a true immersion into the world of the circus thanks to illuminated scenography and wall projections. An innovative and educational way to display the content of the thematic research conducted by Raymond Montpetit. A resolutely empathetic approach, so that knowledge is absorbed as easily as possible, in the great tradition of Pointe-à-Callière. Experience the grandeur of the circus. Its sounds, its moods, its exploits, its moments of grace, its follies.
