“Cirque Éloize and Fiori — both impressionists in their own way: each song becomes its
own little piece of theatre, its own universe, shaped by simple solo choreography or largescale
numbers, by moments of intimacy and bursts of power.”
– Philippe Renaud, Le Devoir (2019)
“Spectacular — that is truly the word that defines the evening! A meticulously crafted
scenography that deceives the eye and keeps the audience fully engaged from beginning
to end.”
– Emeline Descharles, La Bible urbaine (2019)
“Cirque Éloize and Fiori: a perfect match! Forty years later, for one unforgettable evening,
this timeless music and the breathtaking feats of Cirque Éloize came together to deliver a
powerful wave of nostalgia and wonder.”
– Normand Provencher, Le Soleil (2019)
“Serge Fiori – Seul Ensemble: an entertaining spectacle!”
– Anne-Josée Cameron, Radio-Canada Québec (2019)
