Daily gym passes and extra show tickets will be available separately.

The public show is on Saturday evening (April 19th) at the Bibleotheque Nationale, Salle St. Sulpice, 1700 St. Denis St. The show will feature many of Montreal's professional jugglers, as well as students from the world renouned Ecole National de Cirque. The theater in the National Library is large and comfortable. It is also right in the centre of Montreal's vibrant Latin Quarter, surrounded by a bewildering array of restaurants and bars. Tourists often ask if Montrealers do anything but eat? Certainly we do; some of us juggle between meals. This is a bilingual festival (english/french), workshops and individual help will be available in both languages.
