MODLIN ARTS PRESENTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON

Experience the thrill of Quebec’s Cirque Kikasse in an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind mobile circus where daring acrobatics are performed on top of and around a food truck. Expect breathtaking performances of skill and spectacle for all ages paired with craft beer and delectable bites served from inside the truck.

Watch in awe as the troupe prepares their rooftop terrace for service through a series of playful transformations, from arranging furniture that becomes a towering 35-foot balancing act, creating comic chaos as they clean their truck and trampoline, and joyfully flooding the area with popcorn. A bold, fun, and visually striking showcase that delivers remarkable virtuosity it will thrill even the most seasoned circus fans while delighting your inner child.

As part of UR Weeks of Welcome, SANTÉ! brings the magic of the circus right to campus. Students can catch the high-flying shows after classes and campus and community members are welcome to bring the whole family. Since its creation in 2021 by circus artists and directors Hugo Ouellet-Côté and William Poliquin-Simms, Cirque Kikasse emerged from a shared desire to create bold, high-energy circus that blends virtuosity with infectious playfulness.

Free, tickets not required. Attendees are welcome to bring blankets, seat cushions, or chairs. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase. UR students receive one free food item.

The food truck will open for food and drink purchases 30 minutes before and stay open 30 minutes after the performance.
