This is more than a circus performance: it is a festive tribute to life.

Acrobatics, dance, BMX, and juggling come together in an energetic tent show full of strength and emotion. Sara Desprez and Angelos Matsakis, both graduates of the Brussels Circus School, create a celebration that revolves around the balance between control and surrender with their unique style.

In Foutoir Céleste, they draw inspiration from the oldest rituals of the first peoples of America. At the heart of the performance is the Coyote, a wild and unpredictable figure who reminds us of the importance of embracing our vulnerability and letting go of our desire for invincibility.

It is a festive tribute to life – a celebration of beginnings and endings, success and failure, and everything that the cycle of life has to offer.

  • Warning: A strobe light effect is used during the performance and lasts a total of 1 to 2 minutes.
  • English spoken (very limited)

About Cirque Exalté

The Compagnie Cirque Exalté was founded in 2009 by Sara Desprez and Angelos Matsakis. The name Cirque Exalté perfectly reflects their vision: a circus that combines technical performances with sharing, generosity, and a variety of disciplines. It stands for energy, spontaneity, passion, and poetry. Their work is lively, rooted in the present, filled with risks and enthusiasm, and a touch of madness. It is a mix of choreography, play, and conviction.

  • “A tent show that fully lives up to expectations: pure ecstasy, an abundance of energy, and breathtaking heights.” - La Terrasse.
