Pavillon de la TOHO

Frommer's Review

Next door to the Cirque du Soleil's training complex and company offices, TOHO is a performance facility devoted to the circus arts. Acrobats and performers from the National Circus School, Québec's Productions à Trois Têtes, and the Imperial Acrobats of China have all put on recent shows here. TOHO features an intimate in-the-round hall done up like and old-fashioned circus tent and an exhibit space with over 100 circus artifacts. It's also a green building, built with recycled pieces of an amusement park bumper-car ride and wood from a dismantled railroad and heated by biogas from the adjacent landfill. The venue is located in the lower-income Saint-Michel district well north of downtown, but accessible by Métro and bus.
