In 2001, Hugo Moriceau began performing street theater with the group “Les Enfants Terribles” in Limoges. Over the course of six years with the group, burlesque theater and juggling—particularly passing—became his favorite pastime alongside his two friends, Antoine Cousty and Simon Cheype.
Hugo then set out alone to take on the capital and was entrusted with the recreation department at the École des Arts de la Piste in Boulogne-Billancourt, directed by Gaël Massot. At the same time, he took professional training courses, notably dance classes taught by Lucille Bodossian and acrobatics classes by Loïc Marques, to prepare for the entrance exams to circus schools.
In 2010, he joined Antoine and Simon at the Balthazar Center for Circus Arts in Montpellier. The three of them became friends with Florian Bessin, an acrobat-rider and architecture student straight from the mountains of Annecy, and Jacob Auzanneau, a prodigious acrobat from the Pop Circus school in Auch.
We then witness the birth of a group that chooses to focus its work and energy on the Korean teeterboard. The five young men continue their training together at the National School of Circus Arts (Enacr) in Rosny-sous-Bois, where they meet Lluna Pi. Thus begins an acrobatic and collective adventure, both on stage and in their personal lives.
