Child of the circus, I grew up in the world of circus arts.
Passionate about balance since forever, I practiced gymnastics from the age of 6 to 13, which allowed me to build strong acrobatic foundations.
As a ringmaster in the classic circus, I started on stage with juggling, and later with balancing acts. I began working with different circus companies in France and also performed in cabarets.

 

A natural born artist and athlete, Louis-David flew on a trapeze for the first time at age 14. Two years later he was accepted into the prestigious National Circus School in Montreal. He trained in many different disciplines, while specializing in duo trapeze. 
Upon graduation he and his trapeze partner, Rosalie Ducharme, joined the creation of Cirque du Soleil’s TOTEM and went on to perform their duo act over 850 times. 
In 2014, Louis-David joined forces with Marie-Christine Fournier to create a new duo trapeze act. They were rewarded for their hard work when they won the Golden Grock at the Vaudreuil-Dorion International Circus Festival. 
Louis-David also created and performed solo work, such as aerial silks, Cyr wheel and, most importantly, hair hanging. One of only a few men who practise this traditional and unique discipline. 
He participated in projects and creations around the globe with multiple renowned circus companies such as Cirque du Soleil. 

My circus journey began at the age of three. Accompanied by my sister, and later my brother, my parents put me in a multidisciplinary class at the Brussels Circus School in Belgium. Circus quickly became an obvious part of my life as a child, but it wasn't until I was 15 years old, after having integrated a circus program more focused on creation, that circus started to take a more important part in my life. There I made incredible friends, I connected on a deeper level with my sister through circus, I felt I was in the right place.  

I decided, encouraged by my mother, to audition for the circus option at Pierre Bayen High School. After being accepted into the program, I spent a year in Châlons en Champagne training at the Centre National des Arts du Cirque. I also met Mathieu Seclet, who introduced me to hand balancing and gave me the love for this discipline. After hearing about the National Circus School of Montreal from Louana Seclet, Mathieu's daughter, I decided to audition for the Circus and Highschool program. It was at ENC that I finished my high school studies, continuing my training as a hand balancing artist. I then completed the year of Mise à Niceau, followed by the three years of DEC at the National Circus School of Montreal, gaining experience as a human, as a circus artist and performer. During my studies in Montreal, I had the chance to take part in several professional circus projects such as the CircusFest festival in St-Jhon's, Newfoundland, or the 7 Fingers Giant for the 3 Giants show of the Montreal Complètement Cirque festival for the summer 2022 edition. 

Born in Quebec, Marie-Christine discovered her passion for acrobatics at the age of 15 when she began competitive artistic gymnastics.

She began her career as a trapeze artist by joining the touring show Varekai, where she performed for nearly five years. In 2014, she and her current partner, Louis-David Simoneau, decided to combine their strengths to create a brand new acrobatic fixed trapeze act. Thanks to this duo act, created in just a few months in Montreal, they have had the opportunity to travel the world and showcase their work in various Australian and German cabarets, participate in different international festivals, perform on French and Quebec television, join a touring show in Australia, Japan, and Europe, and work on various projects with local companies such as Cirque Éloize, Cirque du Soleil, and Les 7 Doigts, with whom she participated in the show Mon île, Mon cœur.

My name is Rose Munger, I am 20 years old, and I recently graduated from the National Circus School of Montreal, with my official graduation on June 9th. One could say that I was born with highly developed athletic and artistic abilities. I started walking at nine months old and discovered the world by climbing everything in my path. Music made me twirl, and by the age of two, I was taking up the entire stage during year-end shows at daycare. At the age of three, I began artistic gymnastics and dance classes. Until the age of 12, I practiced numerous sports simultaneously, such as figure skating, swimming, cheerleading, athletics, gymnastics, and dance. I participated in many regional and provincial competitions in figure skating and artistic gymnastics.

At 12 years old, I moved from Saguenay to the wonderful city of Quebec. I started my secondary education by enrolling in a sports-arts-studies program specializing in dance at La Seigneurie Secondary School, where I completed grades 7 to 9. During these three years, I joined the competitive dance teams at QMDA Dance School. I trained 25 hours a week in various dance styles: ballet, contemporary, lyrical, jazz, hip hop, and acro-dance. I quickly reached the Elite level and participated in numerous provincial and national competitions. My solo specialty is acro-dance. I won many awards and scholarships, both in group performances and individual solos. At the age of 14, I started taking several classes at the Quebec Circus School, including flying trapeze, balance, floor acrobatics, hand-to-hand, and aerials. I developed a great passion for the circus. My teachers' comments encouraged me to audition for the National Circus School of Montreal. The following year, at the age of 15, I joined the school and continued my secondary education there. I then enrolled in the college-level professional training program in Circus Arts. My specialty is dance trapeze, and my secondary discipline is the Cyr wheel. I continue to specialize in acro-dance and take hand-to-hand classes. I am the happiest person in the world. I am passionate, persistent, disciplined, creative, have a strong ability to move the audience, and love performing on stage. My competition and stage experience are invaluable. I manage my stress well, have a great capacity for trainability, and am very versatile. I also have experience as a day camp counselor, as a recreational coach at the National Circus School, and I take on occasional professional contracts for festivals and public events. I am confident that I have the qualities and skills necessary to be part of the world's greatest circuses.
