ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Montreal-based acrobatic circus duet, AGATHE AND ADRIEN, graduated from the famed Circus School of Quebec in 2018. They work at the edge of circus, dance, and theater/performing arts. Their multi-disciplined skills have allowed them to develop a unique circus vocabulary. As emerging artists, Agathe and Adrien began their careers working for well-established circus companies, including the renowned Cirque Éloize and y Giners companies, but wanted to express their social and environmental values through a committed circus. So, they turned towards independent circus creations.
The duo combines the codes of circus, contemporary dance and performance art to create a rich, complex acrobatic language, as a part of an approach to redefining standards.
