We Make Shows

A large audience look onto a stage filled with bright LED coloured umbrellas being manipulated by onstage performers. There are two aerialists hanging from the big metal structure and both are lit by a bright white light behind them.

Cirque Bijou seek out the new, unexpected and extraordinary, creating distinctive and unforgettable shows for any stage or space.

From early ideas to the final bow, we work collaboratively to bring people, storytelling and technology together in collective celebration and experience.
