CONWAY — The wild, wild west will come alive at the University of Central Arkansas’s Reynolds Performance Hall as Cirque Éloize presents Saloon on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
“Cirque Éloize is a Canadian troupe that is known for their amazing stunts, engaging choreography and artistic storytelling,” said Amanda Horton, director of Reynolds Performance Hall. “This show has a wild west theme and will be filled with dance, acrobatics and comedy while being complemented by live musicians on the stage.”
Cirque Éloize has won multiple international awards and toured more than 500 cities and visited 50 countries.
According to www.cirque-eloize.com, the audience will “enter a mythical world where theatre and circus collide for 85 minutes of non-stop live folk music combined with strength, agility and original choreography. Never before has a piano tuner kicked up so much dust. Under the spell of Saloon’s beautiful Belle, he sets off in a chase worthy of the greatest Westerns for an action-packed theatrical thrill- ride.”
