Troupe Vertigo has had the honor of collaborating with numerous national and international symphonies, bringing a theatrical sensibility that complements the grandeur and prestige of the symphony hall. We are frequently invited to create custom, ensemble-based themed productions in which world-class cirque acts are seamlessly interwoven with each orchestra’s unique musical voice. The result is an evening of breathtaking physical artistry choreographed into living works of art.
We believe that Circus, much like Music, is a universal language—an art form shaped and enriched by diverse cultures from around the globe.
Invite your audience’s imagination to twist and soar as we lead them on a thrilling journey filled with beauty, wonder, humor, and extraordinary technical prowess.
Cirque Carmen
Our ongoing collaboration with Maestro Jack Everly has resulted in numerous concerts, including Cirque Carmen, which evokes the intimate charm of a small traveling circus—one that might have existed in Bizet’s Europe as well as in the great circus traditions that once crisscrossed America.
Fairytales + Cirque Ballet
Through their partnership with The Phoenix Symphony, Troupe Vertigo developed an original Cirque Ballet Series, debuting reimagined productions of The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Cinderella. Their Cirque Nutcracker has since become a cherished annual tradition across the country each December, while their enchanting Fairytales program—uniting Swan Lake and Cinderella—continues to delight audiences of all ages with its blend of beauty, drama, and playful humor.
Cirque Noir
A bold artistic collaboration with conductor and composer Jeff Tyzik gave birth to Cirque Noir, a spellbinding production set to his sultry, jazz-inspired score. Premiering with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Cirque Noir has toured nationwide, captivating audiences with its shadowy glamour and thrilling acrobatics. This mesmerizing tribute immerses viewers in the seductive world of classic Film Noir.
