What began on the busy streets of Québec in 1984 soon went worldwide as the young street performers of this French-Canadian city would set the high wire for all other circus acts to aspire to. With stilt walkers, fire-eaters, jugglers, and buskers, the stage was set for this supreme circus extravaganza.
