In many ways, Montreal has been etching itself a spot as a world capital for circus arts, with the Cirque du Soleil headquarters located in the city, alongside the National Circus School. Other renowned circus troupes such as Les 7 Doigts de la main and Cirque Éloize are Quebec natives so it should come as no surprise that one of Montreal's newest festivals -- Montréal Complètement Cirque -- homes in on the mind-bending contortions, flips, juggling, balancing, clowning, flying and other physical feats circus artists surprise us with year in, year out. Montréal Complètement Cirque is a concerted creative effort of La TOHU, the National Circus School, Cirque Éloize, Les 7 Doigts de la main, En Piste -- a national circus arts network -- and of course, juggernaut Cirque du Soleil.
The circus festival's third edition runs July 5 to July 15, 2012 and will feature circus professionals from across the globe converging to talk shop as well as perform for the public.
