Cirque du Soleil to present a show about Quebec singer/songwriter [Video]

After paying tribute to the likes of Robert Charlebois and the Cowboys Fringants, Cirque du Soleil will be offering a show on the world of singer-songwriter Daniel Bélanger next summer at the Amphithéâtre Cogeco in Trois-Rivières.

The new show is part of Cirque’s “Homage Series,” which has celebrated a number of Quebec artists over the years. Last year, the comedy group Rock et Belles Oreilles were honoured.

L’hommage à Daniel Bélanger, the ninth show in the series, will be presented in Trois-Rivières from July 16 to Aug. 16

Cirque du Soleil Group president and CEO Stéphane Lefebvre said his organisation was looking forward to celebrating an “iconic author, composer and performer, a true icon of Quebec culture.”

Cirque promises a dive into the world of the singer and his work as well as an “acrobatic interpretation inspired by (his) legacy.”
