Cirkopolis at Foxwoods Resort Casino

This week we were invited to visit Foxwoods Resort Casino to view the opening day performance of Cirkopolis - Cirque Éloize's latest production that runs April 11th through April 15th at Foxwoods' Fox Theater.

Cirkopolis is a bit more 'gritty' than the last two shows Cirque Éloize presented at Foxwoods (read about them HERE and HERE). In Cirkopolis, the backdrop is a factory setting with black, white and grey tones depicting a shadow-like city skyline and revolving gear shifts from within a factory setting. The colorful costumes of many of the performers come to life and stood out beautifully from the monochromatic setting.

I thought the factory and work-themed backgrounds might not be a popular theme for the family-oriented audience, but I couldn't have been more wrong. There is plenty of humor and daredevil action to keep the children entertained -- and mom and dad on the edges of their seats.

Cirkopolis bills this production as:

"...  a breathtaking blend of circus arts, theatre and dance to a highly-stylized metropolis setting where multidisciplinary artists rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves, and challenge the limits of the factory-city as only they can. Performing within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and video projections, they live in a world where fantasy defies reality—the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted and replaced by bursts of humour and colour. Cirkopolis transforms the classic film Metropolis into a virtuosic circus spectacle for the whole family."

Cirque Éloize Returns to Foxwoods with Cirkopolis

Cirkopolis by Cirque Éloize Comes to Foxwoods Resort Casino

Foxwoods Resort Casino has it all! Shopping, Gaming, and world class shows. One of my favorite family friendly shows is Cirque Éloize, a contemporary circus troupe, who return to Foxwoods to premiere their latest creation, Cirkopolis, at the Fox Theater.

The shows will run from Tuesday, April 11 through Saturday, April 15 for a total of seven thrill-seeking performances all taking place during Foxwoods’ Kids Week! (See more on Kids Week at https://www.foxwoods.com/kidsweek/)

Cirkopolis may be one of Cirque Éloize finest shows, as they take their breathtaking blend of circus arts, theater and dance to a highly-stylized metropolis setting. Cirkopolis features twelve acrobats and multidisciplinary artists who rebel against monotony, reinvent themselves and challenge the limits of the factory-city as only they can.

Through the paintings, the artists push back the limits imposed by the factory city and free themselves from the routine monotony. Inspired by the classic film Metropolis, Cirkopolis juggles the circus, theater and dance. Through an inventive staging, accompanied by music and dream video projections, this spectacle, both profound and poetic, is a family friendly event appealing to an audience of all ages.

And for a once in a lifetime VIP experience, families are invited to participate in a behind-the-scenes meet and greet with the Cirkopolis cast prior to their opening performance on April 11 at 12:30 p.m. as part of the "Behind the Scenes Family Experience"
