Back by popular demand, Cirque de Paris is making its much-anticipated return to Barrie this spring! From May 1 to 11, the world-class European-style circus will be taking over the Big Top at Georgian Mall with matinee and evening shows daily.
This all-new show is packed with thrills, elegance, and edge-of-your-seat excitement crafted for audiences of all ages.
A new cast. A new show. A classic tradition reimagined.
Presented by Anouchka Bouglione, a seventh-generation performer from one of France’s most iconic circus families, Cirque de Paris blends traditional artistry with modern spectacle in the most enchanting way.
Expect BMX trick riders, high-flying aerialists, acrobats, illusionists, and comedic clowns – all coming together for a 90-minute extravaganza under the big top.
And yes, there’s popcorn.
Step into the legacy
Born during a family tour in Grenoble, Anouchka Bouglione has circus in her DNA. Inspired by her father’s animal training and her mother’s trapeze artistry, she’s now touring with her own family – her husband Reinaldo Monteiro, and their children Selena, Noah, and Alyana – bringing the magic of European circus to North America.
This 2025 tour is bigger, bolder, and back by popular demand after a successful run last year.
