LCSD to present acrobatic film "Cirkopolis" in "Cheers!" Series
***********************************************************************************
The story begins in a modern metropolis setting in which acrobats and multidisciplinary artists seek a breakthrough amid the everyday monotony. When the veil of anonymity and solitude is lifted, the city is filled with bursts of humour and colour. Combining circus arts, theatre and dance, the performance is staged within an inventive stage design and accompanied by an original musical score and digital video projections, delivering fun and surprises for children and families.
Founded in 1993, Cirque Éloize has strived to renew circus arts and infuse new concepts into its work through its trademark efficiency and mastery of the proscenium stage as well as collaboration with talented directors from other disciplines. Cirque Éloize has so far presented more than 5,500 performances in over 550 cities.

All persons are required to use the "LeaveHomeSafe" mobile application to scan the venue QR code before they are allowed to enter LCSD offices and venues, except for exempted persons who are aged below 12 or aged 65 or above and those with disabilities that render use of the app difficult. Exemptions will also be granted to individual persons depending on the actual circumstances. All exempted persons are required to complete a record form to register their personal particulars and the date and time of their visits. As it will take time to verify personal particulars of exempted persons under the new arrangement, their waiting time for using public services or entering the relevant venues may be lengthened. The LCSD suggests that members of the public should arrive early and appeals for their understanding. The department also encourages the exempted persons to use the app as far as possible to save time.
