Acrobat, dancer, circus artist, and martial artist.
From a very young age, Iesu was “naturally” trained in Chinese martial arts, like every member of his family, thanks to his father’s great mastery in this field. From 2006 to 2008, he traveled to China to study at various institutions specializing in Chinese martial arts, such as Shaolin Si Wushu Guan, Dengfeng, Hena, Shaolin Si Wu Sheng Di Zi Xue Yuan, Wuhan University of Sports, and Tianjin University of Sports. He also studied Chan (Zen) Buddhist philosophy at Hongfang Si, a Buddhist monastery in Shenzhen.
He continued his training in dance, theater, and circus arts in Mexico, then in Barcelona in 2010. His desire to pursue a more specialized circus curriculum led him to France in 2011, where he joined the 25th class at the National Center for Circus Arts (CNAC). His specialization: acrobatics, or more specifically, acrodance.
Iesu has also worked as a performer and instructor in Mexico, China, London, Bogotá, Barcelona, and France.
Iesu describes himself as a “cosmopolitan Mexican”: he grew up in northern Mexico, studied in China, trained in circus arts in France alongside students of various nationalities, and married a South African woman. The rich diversity of influences he has encountered and put into practice throughout his career has allowed him to develop his own unique physical language, an “explosive” blend of influences and strangeness.
