Yoann Bourgeois is an acrobat, actor, juggler and dancer. He grew up in a small village in Jura (France) and discovered the games of vertigo and the new circus with the Cirque Plume, which proved to be the lead-in to his training at the National Circus Arts Centre in Châlons-en-Champagne and the National Centre for Contemporary Dance in Angers. One of the best known creative talents of modern times, his shows blend circus technique with contemporary dance movements.
