Anthony Weiss
Anthony is a multidisciplinary artist, director and emerging choreographer. From childhood, he trained in dance, circus arts and music, displaying an innate and obvious affinity for the stage. He trained with his mother, a dancer, and then with Surraya Mahmood & Jonathan Sutton (Théâtre du Soleil Jacques Lecoq) at Théâtres Acrobatiques in Aix-en-Provence. He then joined the ENC in Châtellerault (Circus Baccalaureate) and, in 2006, the National Circus School in Montreal, Canada.
He graduated in 2009, specialising in the swinging trapeze, and began his international career through various projects and events. He continued his training with the master of the trapeze: Victor Fomine. Together they presented the fruits of their labour at the 33rd Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris.
In 2013, he returned to Europe and turned his attention to more in-depth creative work. He developed a repertoire of aerial straps and aerial movement, building on a solid technical foundation. He performed in Blast – Zanzibar Cirque Farouche (2014), "Drop" (2014) and "Lettres d’Amour" (2016) by David Bobée, "Guerre" (2017) by Cie Samuel Mathieu, and Solution Intermédiaire by Cie SH – Switzerland. In 2014, he founded UNATI and created his first show: ÛMAN (2018), RÂ (experimental 2020/2021) and then ÛMAN - Genesis (2024). During these years, he trained in music (computer-assisted music, DJing, sound healing), production (ARSUD + l’Avant Courrier) and dramaturgy (CNAC and ESAC certificates). He is a director, choreographer and set designer for FA (public spaces and theatres) with Cie Amoukanama; aerial coach/choreographer for ALLSTARS USA – Turkey 2018–2020, and has been teaching aerial arts since 2020 at ESAC in Brussels, Fontys in Tilburg and at the CNAC since 2025.
Since 2022, he has also been a soloist on the swinging trapeze and straps in YOAH by the Japanese contemporary circus company CirqueWork.
