Valérie is a circus artist specializing in hulahoop. She started doing the circus at the age of 7. She graduated from the Quebec Circus School in June 2019.

These three years spent in this program have taught her a lot of things, but above all to have fun in what she does, to have confidence in her own choices and not to give up.

Since then, she has participated in several shows, traveled all over the world and continues to spread the joy of the circus she goes to. Museis her first tour showt with FLIP Fabrique.

Michel is a real “adrenaline junkie”! Since his adolescence, he has pushed his limits in several extreme sports, such as judo, boxing, acrobatic gymnastics, MMA and crossfit. He was introduced to the circus world at the age of 17 and graduated from the École de Cirque de Québec in 2022, with a specialization in trampo-wall. On the other hand, he calls himself a generalist acrobat, since he likes all disciplines, and thus working as a team to create numbers that strike the imagination. When he’s not on stage, you can imagine Michel playing the guitar while drinking several coffees.

Hugo Duquette is a trapeze artist hailing from the Montérégie region. Hugo has always loved to dance and as a teenager developed quite a reputation on the contemporary dance competition circuit. At age 17, he enrolled in circus school and immediately fell in love with trapeze-dancing. This relatively new discipline is the perfect venue to let his creativity soar. Since graduating, he has performed all over the world on cruise ships and for major circus companies. Casting aside labels, Hugo likes to deconstruct gender codes and incorporate drag queen personas into his acts. Hugo spends his spare time on photography, drawing inspiration particularly from the LGBT artists of the 80s that he then applies to his photography, dance and circus performances.
