The Quebec-based circus company is now offering you a range of breath-taking shows you can watch from your living room via CirqueConnect.

“Now more than ever, our fans need the distraction that spectacle brings, a break from the chaos. We want to do our part to spread joy, even from afar, directly to them,” said Sheila Morin, CMO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.

On their Cirque Connect website, you can choose from a list of videos to explore online.

You can also feel like you’re really part of the show through the new virtual reality app (you’ll just need one of the supported devices like an Oculus Rift).

Exercise the Cirque way, learn new makeup techniques, dive into VR, or entertain your kids with exclusive videos just for them.
