ABOUT
Presenting:
Right from childhood Aude would show a vibrant passion for movement just like Léonie, the character she portrays in the show BOUGE by Le Gros Orteil circus company. Ever since her discovery of dancing and hand-balancing, she has felt a calling to play along with this combination of both fluidity and stability, which sparks interest from a number of companies such as Cirque du Soleil, TOHU, the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque and others. Her thirst for embodying all sorts of different concepts becomes manifest in her versatility and makes her entirely adaptable to all types of project types, much like water that takes shape wherever it flows. No matter where the flow of life leads her, she found herself lost in the show Limbo of the Starlight Circus where she embodied the role of Time sinking into the role of Oblivion until she became a distant memory wandering paths in Switzerland, doubting whether she would find a way out with the help of the audience reminding what awakens her through her act Équi“libre/free” et pièges /& traps.

The hand balancing act entitled Équi“libre/free” et pièges/&Traps offers a dreamlike view of the body’s swaying movements which personify her query towards realizing whether hand-balancing has taken up her freedom.
