In the beautiful waterfront park on the Saint Lawrence river public art intersects landscape architecture. Elegant urban furniture elements such as benches and shelter provide comfort to bikers and pedestrians, who can enjoy also the framed views of the St. Lawrence from the follies and watchtower.

Camminando | Quebec City, Cirque du Soleil "Les Chemins invisibles: Le Sillon des rêves"


Cirque du Soleil presents the second chapter of Les Chemins Invisibles, Le Sillon des Rêves in the Saint Roch district of Quebec City.
For several evenings in summer a series of spectacular circus acts from aerial acrobatics to stilts walking and fire juggling are offered for free(!!!!!) under the Dufferin-Montmorency highway overpass (440) at Boulevard Charest.
The performers mix with the audience in the very dramatic urban set, augmented by light projections and murals on the highway pylons: set design and urban space, audience and performer become blurred in this amazing spectacle.
