Les Chemins invisibles (Invisible Paths) is a seasonal, hour-long, free show created by Cirque du Soleil to be performed during the summer street events in Quebec City.[1] In 2009 Cirque signed a contract for CA$34,400,000 (equivalent to $47,239,860 in 2023) with the city of Quebec to produce 5-years of performances during the summer months. Each year, 20% of the show is renewed, and the first installment was performed during the summer of 2009.[2] The show is about three tribes from separate cultures that meet to share one another's experiences.[3] Les Chemins invisibles follows the success of the special show 400e anniversaire de Quebec, which was presented in 2008 for the 400-year anniversary of the city.

Acts

Chapter 1: The Enriched Encounter

The first chapter of Les Chemins invisibles, performed during 2009, revealed the rich encounter between three tribes (Brumes, Brasiers and Sables) and the Embarrassants. The tribes made peace and formed a community in the heart of the Saint-Roch district.[3][4]

Chapter 2: Furrow of Dreams

The second chapter, performed during 2010, follows this newly formed community that has turned the Îlot Fleurie into a place of sharing, harmony and reconciliation. The leaders of the new tribe have gone away with the Embarrassants to show them the world. When they return home, they bring with them a great many wonders. During their return they have a warm homecoming celebration.[3]

Chapter 3: Kingdom of Tin

In the third chapter performed in 2011, Le Royaume de Tôle (Kingdom of Tin), the Emperor beckons all to take part in an out-of-the-ordinary urban cabaret.[5][6]

Chapter 4: The Pixel Frontier

Performed in 2012, the fourth chapter, The Pixel Frontier saw a child’s dreams take the public at sunset on a voyage into the heart of his imaginary world where traditional meets virtual and where the child becomes aware of the beauty of human contact through scintillating exchanges that multiply all around him.[7]
