Swing Time

It’s getting hard these days to tell one cirque from another, but the French Canadian circus Cirque Éloize has a pedigree that’s taken it all the way to Broadway. It all points back to a lasting partnership with acrobatic troupe Teatro Sunil and its founder, Daniele Finzi Pasca, a multi-talented director, writer, choreographer and clown whose poetic Sky Trilogy, an eight-year project, melds the circus arts into eye-popping yet soulful entertainment (Pasca also designed Corteo for Cirque du Soleil and parts of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games closing ceremony in Turin).
