Born in 1997 in Venezuela, Tomás grew up in an artistic environment within the “Rio Teatro Caribe” collective in Caracas.
He began his acrobatic career at the age of thirteen, practicing parkour in the streets of Caracas. He later joined the acrobatic collective FOW, with which he performed in various street theatre festivals.
In 2016, he left Venezuela to pursue higher education in France, first in Montpellier at the Balthazar circus arts center for two years, and then at the École nationale des arts du cirque de Rosny-sous-Bois (ENACR) and the Centre national des arts du cirque, specializing in floor acrobatics.
Acrobatics came after years of parkour, but what interests him most is falling and the relationship to the ground. This is where he feels he belongs. Parkour is about overcoming obstacles, whereas on stage, the only real obstacle is the ground. This shift initially created a loss of bearings and support for him. However, this transition from street to stage ultimately allowed him to develop a much richer exploration of acrobatic possibilities.
During his studies, Tomás worked with Guy Alloucherie as part of the repertoire revival of C’est pour toi que je fais ça !. He also collaborated as a performer in the latest creation of Cie Les Hommes De Mains, BOX.
In his final years at CNAC, Tomás and five of his fellow students formed a collective focused on acrobatic lifts, Hungarian teeterboard, and rope work, in order to imagine their professional lives after school.
