Voleak Ung was born in 1994 in Battambang, Cambodia. To pursue her dream, she left her family in 2007, at the age of 13, to attend a circus school in a major city far from home.
Her desire to explore the world and her acrobatic potential led her to spend several months in Vietnam honing her circus skills.
After this stay, Voleak discovered what the circus meant to her in life. She then applied to the National School of Circus Arts in Rosny-sous-Bois (ENACR) and began her studies there in September 2010. After a necessary recovery period during her first year, Voleak gradually resumed training. In her second year, she met Vincent Briere and formed a hand-to-hand duo with him.
