Investing in clowns
in Quebec

A group of street performers in Quebec in
the 1980s founded a small non-profit and
first gained government funding through a
jobs-creation program. These government
subsidies helped the group from 1984 to 1992,
when “banks were reluctant to support the
band of fire eaters, stilt walkers and clowns”.
The short-term jumpstart allowed the
group known as Cirque du Soleil to become
the billion-dollar enterprise it is today. Cirque
du Soleil Entertainment Group employs
around 4,000 people, including 1,300 artists,
who originate from nearly 50 countries.
