Beaver Creek, Colo., Feb. 10, 2020 — Cirque FLIP Fabrique, a contemporary circus from Canada brings the best in cirque family entertainment to the mountains.  In their upcoming show at the Vilar Performing Arts Center, “Blizzard,” winter has taken over completely as the group brings all the magic of a snow day to you and old alike. Lose yourself in the engaging story told by talented artist-athletes through dazzling acrobatics, aerial dance, and even a bit of comedy.

“Blizzard” by Cirque FLIP Fabrique takes the Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) stage on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $60 for adults and $45 for kids. A family four-pack is available for $180. Tickets are available now at the VPAC box office (970-845-8497; www.vilarpac.org). The VPAC is located under the ice rink in Beaver Creek Village (68 Avondale Lane, Beaver Creek, Colorado).

Founded in 2011, FLIP Fabrique has performed more than 1,000 performances in more than 15 countries. They have worked with the prestigious Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize, and taken part in many international circus festivals. Through its many artistic collaborations, Cirque FLIP Fabrique brings a fresh take on contemporary circus, coupled with an uncanny ability to have fun and move an audience. They translate from life to life, from the heart to the heart, the body to the body.

“You’ll be hard pushed to find a circus gang with more technical gymnastic ability and joie de vivre than Flip Fabrique,” writes a reviewer in The Stage. “Blizzard contains many of the circus art tropes that have come to be associated with the exuberant young French-Canadian collective. It features plenty of huge, complex group acrobatic numbers, impossible leaps of faith and more somersaults than seems humanly possible, against a sweet score played live on stage by the performers.”

Both innovative and visually stunning, the company has been wowing audiences throughout the world with this new production. See this fresh take on contemporary circus for yourself when Cirque FLIP Fabrique comes blowing into the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek with “Blizzard” on Feb. 16.
