Carré Curieux, Cirque Vivant ! is one of the emblematic companies in the current Belgian circus landscape.
Founded in 2007 by four young artists (Luca Aeschlimann, Vladimir Couprie, Gert De Cooman, Kenzo Tokuoka), “guys” from totally different backgrounds, all graduated from the École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque (E.S.A.C) in Brussels (Belgium ). The company has now achieved international fame and tours all over the world (Europe, Switzerland, Canada, China, Russia, Peru, Chile, Japan, Korea, Reunion Island…).
Our motto: “When I work, I am serious like a child who plays.” Picasso
We feel a deep need to create circus forms offering an alternative vision of our ways of life, of communication, through reinvented disciplines.
Our shows are filled with magical illusions and unusual appearances while remaining very attached to a certain simplicity, a closeness to the public… And always tinged with an insatiable irony !
Indoors, under the marquee, in the street or even in churches, Carré Curieux, Cirque Vivant ! is a multi-faceted company with a common goal: to compose original circus works without restrictions of form, without forgetting our first concern: to create with and for people.
Simplicity, diversity… Let’s be “curious“!
