Antoine Cousty was born in June on Place des Bancs in Limoges (87). He moved to 22 Rue de Nice, where he met Simon Cheype, who lived at number 17, always in the neighborhood.
He then joined “Les Enfants Terribles,” a street theater troupe. There, he discovered juggling and the spirit of collaboration, and met many friends, including Hugo Moriceau from 68 Avenue Baudin, which had a swimming pool.
What had become a collective of seven Limoges natives decided, together, to create the “Distribal” association dedicated to the practice of circus arts. Antoine then headed to the Balthazar Circus Arts Center in Montpellier, honed his skills in acrobatics and trampoline, specialized in the Korean teeterboard, and met Florian Bessin.
Next came the National School of Circus Arts in Rosny-sous-Bois (Enacr), with even more trampoline and teeterboard training. Lluna Pi joined the group. Together, they headed to Châlons-en-Champagne and the National Center for Circus Arts.
