Axes replace juggling balls, tightropes are swapped for logs, and flannel stands in for leotards at Cirque Alfonse. The 10-year-old Québécois troupe takes on the lumberjack trend in an acrobatic show inspired by traditional French Canadian logging and folklore—complete with a classic folk soundtrack. We suspect Paul Bunyan would approve. We’re certain Monty Python would.
Expect to see
Axe juggling!
Saw jumping!
Whatever this is!
On the calendar Cirque Alfonse presents “Timber!” A lumberjack circus at the Rialto on March 14.
