“What fascinates me about circus is that we are always or almost alwaysin control of the risk.”
Daniele's passion is to balance and manipulate objects or to find a balance on them, constantly seeking new forms and the ideal center of gravity.

“In theory I’m an acrobat. In practice, I’m easily distracted.”
Josse is a maker, so he… well… makes. Currently using movement as his main medium, but always looking for excuses to create: from notebooks and bathroom furniture to apps and robots.
