Simon hails straight from Limoges, more specifically from Rue de Nice. He was just a toddler when he met someone who would change the course of his life. That man’s name was Antoine Cousty. This turning point led to his joining a street theater troupe called “Les Enfants Terribles.” It was at this point that Hugo Moriceau entered the picture. The journey continued with the founding of a youth association called “Distribal.”

The time had come to turn professional and expand the collective: they arrived at the Balthazar Center for Circus Arts in Montpellier. There, they met Jacob Auzanneau, and a little later, Florian Bessin. They all wanted to explore and share their common specialty: the Korean teeterboard.

The desire to grow has only just begun. It is at this point that the collective enters the National School of Circus Arts in Rosny-sous-Bois (ENACR). And most importantly, they meet Lluna Pi, who joins the group.

Now the collective is complete and ready to develop and train at the National Center for Circus Arts (CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne. What brings them together? Their shared passion for the acrobatic specialty known as the Korean swing. Above all, it is about the accomplishment of a collective effort, the desire to always go further, together, through a love for and an original approach to aerial acrobatics.
