Are digital technologies the newest equipment for the contemporary circus?

Nicolas ROSETTE was the coordinator of Chimères, the Ministry of Culture’s pilot program (2018-2024) devoted to arts and technologies issues in the performing arts. He was also a programmer at several cultural venues between 2008 and 202: the Lieu Unique national theater in Nantes, the TNG national dance center in Lyon, and the Théâtre de l’Agora – national theater in Essonne.

Corinne trained as an aerial artist at the Lido (ESACTO). In 2018, she founded Compagnie Fheel Concepts, which creates shows that blend circus and digital arts and rely on software for live performances. Her works include Hold On, a short virtual reality film shown in 22 countries, and The Ordinary Circus Girl, which won the SACD Prize in 2021.

Born in Grenoble in 1979, Adrien Mondot’s work is at the intersection of juggling and computer innovation and it explores and questions movement.
He founded the Adrien M company in 2004 in the context of the Convergence 1.0 project, and he went on to win the Jeunes Talents Cirque prize. In 2010, he met Claire Bardainne, and together they re-founded the company, and it became Adrien M & Claire B. 
Working in tandem, they create shows, installations, and sensory experiences, often through collaborations, that blur the boundaries between the visual and performing arts. Their best-known works include XYZT, Pixel, Dernière minute, Le mouvement de l’air, Acqua Alta, Mirages et Miracles, and Faunes. In 2024, En amour, created for the Musée de la Musique at the Philharmonie de Paris, concluded their joint cycle of creation.
