Lili was born in the early morning of June 6, 1996, on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
Her parents, both great travelers, took her to discover the world from a very young age. After returning from a six-month journey with her family, at the age of five she decided to follow in her brother’s footsteps and began circus training at L'Élastique Citrique. Training, creation, and performances became her daily life when she was not at school.
She practiced juggling, tightrope, unicycle, rope, partner acrobatics, but it was the Cyr wheel that truly captured her attention. She loved the sensations it gave her and the new spaces she discovered through this apparatus.
Between becoming a midwife or a circus artist, she hesitated—but deep down she already knew she wanted to do circus. After finishing high school, she spent a year in London, where she trained in performing arts while preparing auditions for various higher circus schools.
Accepted both at Circus Space and at the Centre national des arts du cirque, she once again felt the desire to change countries and discover another circus world.
She therefore completed the first year of the DNSP program at the École nationale des arts du cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois, then continued her 2nd and 3rd years in Châlons-en-Champagne. It was there that she truly spent time questioning what she wanted, who she was, and what she was doing in the world.
These reflections led her to Costa Rica, where she worked on a project in a social circus association—a form of circus she deeply cares about. During her time at CNAC, she spun, jumped, and moved with her Cyr wheel, sometimes hung by her hair, and laughed a lot.
