3 Giants Festival

TRISUN FILM
3 GIANTS in the city JULY 7 TO 17, at 6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m - FREE (no show on Monday, July 11, no performance at 6pm at Vinet Park on Saturday, July 9) DURATION : 30 min ESPLANADE PVM, PLACE VILLE MARIE, JARDINS GAMELIN AND PARC VINET Presented by Ivanhoé Cambridge 3GIANTS is an exceptional artistic and touristic project made possible the Government of Quebec, Tourisme Montréal, the Government of Canada and the City of Montréal. This flagship event of the summer, will allows people to get out of their isolation in a collective and playful way; performances, games, music, sound and light will take Montreal by storm in the middle of summer to offer a spectacular, surprising, friendly, unusual and unifying experience. Three imposing 50-foot-tall acrobatic archways in the shape of giants will be installed in three locations throughout the downtown area: Jardins Gamelin at Quartier des spectacles, the Esplanade PVM de la Place Ville Marie and Vinet Park near the Atwater Market. A great gathering initiated by circus people bringing in its wake restaurateurs, merchants and spectators in a great party that confirms once more that Montreal is indeed the international capital of circus arts! The 3GIANTS will cause a joyous ephemeral chaos in their path: a beautiful disruption to the downtown Montreal routine during the summer of 2022. Their spectacular bodies made of steel, born of Quebec’s engineering genius, will call the public to come and join the party, and will host the never-before seen creations of three of Quebec’s greatest circus companies: Cirque Éloize, Les 7 Doigts and Machine de Cirque. It is the first time that these three great companies collaborate and present a creation on a common theme simultaneously. Through their distinct artistic signatures, one constant remains: the human body, which will give life to that of our giants. The giants are also those of culture, those who have left their mark on our collective imagination and our history, regardless of the discipline. Each giant will host two performances per day during MONTRÉAL COMPLÈTEMENT CIRQUE - for a total of 60 free outdoor performances. Three different shows will be presented, inspired by the richness of Quebec culture and the work of great artists such as Marc Favreau, Rufus Wainwright, Louise Lecavalier, Gilles Vigneault, Hubert Reeves, Leonard Cohen, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Joséphine Bacon or Oscar Peterson, to name a few. A fabulous opportunity to come together to celebrate the return to a more normal life. Finally, circus and gastronomy, movement and life! This project was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Fonds de maintien des actifs stratégiques en tourisme of Tourisme Montréal, with the financial participation of the Gouvernement du Québec.
