About Cirque Bijou
Cirque Bijou is an industry-leading production company specialising in sophisticated contemporary circus and large-scale performance art. Their diverse repertoire encompasses a wide range of physical disciplines, including technical acrobatics, trapeze, cloud swing, and tightrope. By integrating urban dance, fire effects, and bespoke LED light suits with traditional circus skills, the company crafts immersive visual narratives tailored for global festivals, corporate events, and stadium concerts.
Based in the cultural hub of Bristol, a city celebrated as a major centre for the arts in South West England, Cirque Bijou has established an international reputation for excellence. Their creative team and cast contributed their talents to the London 2012 Olympic ceremonies and continue to deliver spectacular showcase formats like Aerobatic and Scorch. These productions frequently feature advanced technology, such as water curtains and custom projections, to enhance the physical prowess of their world-class aerialists, free runners, and skaters.
Beyond their choreographed spectacles, the organisation provides professional development through workshops in skills such as unicycling and juggling. These programmes are designed to foster team spirit and personal confidence within a professional setting. Audiences book Cirque Bijou for their ability to blend technical precision with artistic flair, ensuring every event is an unforgettable sensory experience.
On stage, Cirque Bijou is best known for talks on Contemporary Circus, Acrobatics, Performance Art and Entertainment. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
Their work resonates with leaders across Entertainment and Events, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
Cirque Bijou is regularly booked for Performers and Entertainer, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
Based in UK, Cirque Bijou travels internationally for engagements.
