Canadian troupe brings Nomade to Lied Montreal-based circus troupe Cirque Éloize will present two performances of its show Nomade at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 10 and 11. Cirque Éloize is one of the new generation of circus performers focused on innovation, imagination and show-stopping feats with a more theatrical and artistic feel. Trading the usual big top for the theatre stage, Cirque Éloize has performed in more than 200 cities to more than 2 million spectators since its founding in 1993. Its aim: to offer a fresh look on circus arts by designing shows for general audiences of any language. The troupe’s first production was a hit in Quebec and then the United States, Europe and Asia. Rachel Klemme of Time Warner Cable will give a lecture 30 minutes before curtain in the Lied’s Steinhart Room. Tickets for this performance are $22, $15 and $12; tickets are half-price for university students and those 18 and under. Call the Lied box office at 472-4747 or (800) 432-3231 for tickets.
