Ambassador Philip Lafortune of Canada Visits Everland
Eloize and Everland Co-Produce New Circus Performance

On April 10, Samsung C&T Resort Group announced that Philip Lafortune, Canadian Ambassador to Korea, and Damien Ferreira, Representative of the Quebec Government in Korea, visited Everland.

The visit, which took place the previous day, was held to commemorate the launch of the new circus performance “Wings of Memory,” co-produced by Everland, Korea’s leading theme park, and Eloize, the renowned circus production company from Quebec, Canada.

“Wings of Memory,” newly introduced at Everland this spring, features seven types of high-level circus acts, including contortion, aerial pole, and Russian swing. For about 40 minutes, audiences can enjoy a world-class art circus performance that harmoniously blends acrobatics, dance, video, music, and special effects.

Eloize, which collaborated on this performance, is a world-renowned circus company based in Quebec, Canada, the birthplace of global circus. For over 30 years, the company has performed more than 7,000 shows in over 700 cities across 50 countries. Along with Cirque du Soleil and The 7 Fingers, Eloize is recognized as one of Canada’s top three circus production companies.

This global collaboration between the two companies was made possible through the efforts of the Quebec Government Office in Korea, which has a long-standing relationship with Everland and served as a bridge for the partnership.

Invited by the Quebec Government Office in Korea, Ambassador Philip Lafortune and his delegation visited Everland, attended the circus performance, and met with the performers afterward to offer words of encouragement.

Ambassador Philip Lafortune stated, “It is impressive to see Canadian circus arts, which represent our country, showcased in a high-quality performance at Korea’s leading theme park. I hope this collaboration will serve as a meaningful opportunity to further expand cultural exchanges between the two countries.”

Damien Ferreira, Representative of the Quebec Government in Korea, said, “This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Quebec Government’s presence in Korea, making it especially significant. It is an honor to present a moving performance that transcends language, culture, and borders, through the first-ever circus co-production between Eloize and Everland in Korea.”
