From Cirque Global to Local Circus: the Québec Professional Circus Scene during the COVID-19 Pandemic by Louis Patrick Leroux

“…The pandemic brought circus artists home to reflect and reinvest in circus practice and involvement in Quebec, usually outside of institutional structures and without a contract. The Quebec circus’s global reach and aspirations were confronted with the brutal economic reality of a world without touring as circus refocused locally, and artists and institutions were forced to reconsider the existing model. …”
