Live Performance entertainment in Montréal

  1. A

    Cirque du Soleil

    Over the past two decades Cirque du Soleil (Circus of the Sun) has pushed back the boundaries of traditional circus with its astounding acts of dexterity and ethereal costumes. Started by an accordion player and his buddies, this one-time troupe of stiltwalkers has grown into an international phenomenon that thrills millions of spectators the world over.

  2. B

    Yellow Door

    This earthy university-hangout coffeehouse claims to be Canada’s oldest, having given refuge to US draft dodgers in the ‘60s. The program is English-language folk and blues acts, poetry and literature readings, but the schedule is erratic; call for upcoming events. There’s no alcohol license and smoking is taboo.

  3. Invisible Cities

    This support group for local writers and publishers holds poetry and literature readings at venues around town. Contact organizer Christina Manolescu for a schedule of upcoming events.
