This summer, in Saint-Germain-de-Kamouraska, Cirque de la Pointe-Sèche unveils Clafoutis, its latest original production. Set against a 17-metre rock wall on the shores of the St. Lawrence, the show combines high-flying acrobatics with dance and live music, promising an evening you won’t soon forget. With seating for up to 300 spectators, the outdoor amphitheatre isn’t your traditional theatre space!
