“I love being on stage knowing I just had the most heartfelt conversation with the audience through movement.”
Aurora is an Armenian pole dancer and performer born and raised by her mother and siblings in Limburg, Belgium. Growing up she was a competitive tennis player and figure skater, which you can still see reflected in her pole dancing.

“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. He always tries to see the glass half full and the creative side of things or situations, surrounding everything with a layer of absurdity that inspires him in his work.

“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. Always hopping from one hyperfocus to another, learning the necessary and slowly becoming a bit of a jack of all trades along the way.

Too many beautiful moments on and off stage to fit into five bullet points. Deep late-night kitchen snack talks with the boys after a long creation day; crying with relief right after leaving the stage with the team after premiering a show; receiving a standing ovation after performing a 3h opera learned in 2 weeks; flying banquine and being carried by an amazing group of people; after lunch mini-raves to get us through intense days of creation — and many more unforgettable dances, songs, games, deep talks, and hours of laughter shared with amazing people in the past, present and future.
