Lucie Roux was born in Châtellerault on March 31, 1988.
An athlete, a dynamic spirit, and a musician, she has been full of ambition from a very young age. During a performance by the Châtellerault high school circus arts program, Lucie was captivated and fascinated by the physical and musical energy of a student’s trapeze act.
This sparked a new dream: to become a circus artist.
After high school, she threw herself wholeheartedly into intensive physical training to prepare for the entrance exams of various preparatory schools, including Arc en Cirque in Chambéry, which accepted her. There, she specialized in aerial circus techniques, specifically the double trapeze. It was partly thanks to her swimmer’s broad shoulders that her teachers naturally steered her toward the role of a flyer.
After eight months of training, she took the entrance exam for the National School of Circus Arts (Enacr) in Rosny-sous-Bois. To her great delight, she was accepted! The door to her biggest dream was finally opening.
There, she met her three aerial partners. It was the beginning of the double aerial frame. Over the course of three years, she learned about life in a collective, the joys and challenges of teamwork. Always driven by a desire to inspire people, she enriched her artistic and creative vision, drawing inspiration from shows like *Appris par corps* by the company *Un loup pour l’homme*, as well as the passions and antics of the Rasposo family in *Le chant du Dindon*.
With ever-increasing motivation and energy, Lucie navigated her formative years with a thirst to learn more and more. Thus, with her collective, she joined the National Center for Circus Arts (CNAC) in 2013, where she continues to flourish in every aspect of her life.
