Jules was born in June 1997 in Saint-Malo. He discovered the world of circus arts when he began his training at the École de cirque de Châtellerault in a circus arts program.
There, he developed acrobatics as his main discipline, then acrodance during a one-year preparatory program at the École nationale des arts du cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois, and later at the Centre national des arts du cirque.
He refined this practice both solo and in duo with Guilhèm Charrier, through partner acrobatics and contact dance.
His acrobatic practice tends toward virtuosity, blending several styles such as breakdance, capoeira, and tricking, with a growing interest in dance-based movement, which he believes enhances the virtuosity of acrobatic gesture when combined with dance.
His attraction to voids and falling appeared very early in life, to the point where wearing a helmet quickly became essential.
His drive for self-overcoming likely stems from his first self-taught discipline at age 15: parkour/freerunning, practiced in Brittany, on beaches and urban structures, as is typical of this young discipline. This practice helped him build strong mental resilience and a clear sense of determination in his life and artistic choices.
For Jules, falling carries a mystical dimension and a universal potential for transformation, expressed through the rawness of physical matter. His desire to find a framework that allows him to surpass himself in acrobatic movement is realized within circus schools, through the rigor and self-discipline demanded by teachers and training structures.
Coming from a long line of musicians, Jules plays guitar intensively, and to a lesser extent the didgeridoo (a traditional Aboriginal Australian wind instrument) and the hang (a metallic acoustic instrument).
On stage, he feels the need to raise awareness and convey messages he considers urgent and essential in today’s world-ecological, political, and ethical concerns such as the fragility of hard-won freedoms, human “corruptibility,” and animal welfare.
At the same time, he also dreams of poetry and magical moments expressed through his acrobatics.
He has been practicing yoga daily for seven years and places particular importance on spirituality in creation, acrobatics, and every aspect of life.
“Creation without consciousness is nothing but the ruin of the soul” (inspired by Rabelais’ quote in Pantagruel: “Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul”).
