Sarah-Soleil, a 2025 graduate of the École de cirque de Québec, is a specialist in aerial hoop. Despite starting her circus journey later than most, her determination, talent, and creativity propelled her to a professional level in just three years. Known for her dynamic and epic style, she was featured at the Montréal Complètement Cirque festival and Cirque Éloize. Passionate about a variety of disciplines, including hand balancing, contortion, Cyr wheel, hula hoop, and tight wire, she has showcased her skills at numerous corporate events. She has also developed a rare specialty: performing her disciplines inside giant bubbles.

​Marianne fell in love with circus arts as a teenager, starting her aerial training in 2019. She was a student at Aerials Antics, where she discovered corde lisse/rope.

​A circus artist and street performer. Joey always finds a unique twist to his acrobatic and juggling tricks. He prides himself on delivering a truly unique show with skills you won't see anywhere else.

Born between two Cirque du Soleil tours, Chloé has circus in her blood. She performed for the first time in 2001 as a professional circus artist at the age of 9, alongside her father and her aunt. During her 24 years of experience, she has trained under many renowned coaches in dance, gynmastics, silks and German wheel. She continues her artistic and academic journey with a DEC in Theater Exploration at the Cégep de St-Hyacinthe. In 2018, she created her own apparatus, the
tissangle, to deconstruct the traditional aesthetic of silks
and play with shapes, heights and dimensions. Then comes 2020 and the closure of all shows and training places. It is in this context (and in her living room) that she created her clown character Booger, with who she performed on stage as soon as public events reopened. To this day, she continues to evolve with the character that has given new meaning to her art and her presence on stage.
