About The Coach
The duo, “Agathe & Adrien” graduated from the Circus School of Quebec in 2018. They work at the edge of circus, dance, and theater/performing arts. This multidisciplinarity allows them to develop a unique circus vocabulary. As emerging artists Agathe and Adrien started their career working for well established circus companies in Quebec, but needing to express their social and environmental values through a committed circus, they turned towards independent circus creations including Branché, Piece of Mind, Interact and now, N.Ormes.
Tired of the obsolete and toxic patterns of male/female relationships present in the circus world today; they combine the codes of circus, contemporary dance and performance art to create a rich, complex acrobatic language, as a part of a feminist approach to redefining standards.
