Last Year’s Show: Cirque du Zouk: The Haunted Treasure
Drawing its inspiration from mythology and high-seas legends, The Haunted Treasure tells the story of a missing queen and a band of pirates who discover a treasure unlike any they have encountered before. From crew revelry to flying birds; magic spells to mermaids – this show has it all.
Will the crew fall under the curse of the missing queen, or will they pursue justice against those who harmed her? Only those who attend this one-time-only show will find out.
Featuring professional circus talent and Toronto’s Brazilian Zouk community, this show brings together storytelling, dance, and circus arts into a fast-paced 35-minute production that will captivate you.
