Olivier Lépine is an award-winning director who has been active in circus and the theatre since 2005. His work with FLIP Fabrique includes Crépuscule Vents & Marées, which wowed 65,000 people in summer 2017, and Le cirque donne vie à Petrouchka, a 2018 collaboration with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec that had an additional Paris run in 2019.

Taking inspiration from cinema and classic British comedy, Olivier subtly combines drama and sly humor to create unique performances that can be enjoyed again and again.
