Artistic Director and Show Producer @Celestyal
GR
Since 2013, the Cirque Fantastic creative team has taken up a new challenge: the production of cruise shows for the ships of cruise operator Celestyal Cruises. The goal of this thrilling new partnership? To highlight the history, traditions and culture of the locations that these ships and their travelers visit, through a series of musical circus/variety shows. Showcasing a specific theme, each show is designed by the brilliant artists of the company, then presented aboard three ships: the Celestyal Olympia and the Celestyal Nefeli in Greece, and the Celestyal Crystal in Cuba.In 2017, in association with Cirque Fantastic, Celestyal Cruises won the 2017 Cruisers Choice Award for best midsize cruise ship in the entertainment catogory.

SKILLS
ABOUT MARIE-JOSÉE LÉVESQUE
Veteran circus artist and accomplished businesswoman Marie-Josée Lévesque started out her athletic career very young, becoming a trampoline champion in her native province of Quebec at an early age. But it was the circus that held her in awe.Ever since her debut on the international stage with Cirque du Soleil, when she was barely out of adolescence, Marie-Josée has held on to only one dream: to take circus arts out of the Big Top and into the real world, closer to the audience, wherever it may be — Hotels, museums, beaches, cruise ships or convention centers. With a career that now spans more than two decades, the last of which she spent at the head of her own thriving circus entertainment company, Cirque Fantastic (CFC), she has brilliantly brought that dream to life, often performing with the artists that she represents and going on assignment herself. For over twenty years now, she has continued to provide exceptional entertainment to her clients and audiences everywhere, while constantly searching for new ways to diversify the ways circus arts are presented. Her close associates and collaborators recognize that her professionalism, generosity and sensitivity as an artist and show producer are rare assets in such a demanding industry and that she always meets new challenges with the same energy and passion. m••••••••@cirquefantastic.com
