Corinne Linder: Corinne Linder was 7 years old when she started her circus training on the streets of Finland. She was immediately drawn to this world, a place where things that seem impossible become possible. She received her professional education at Le Lido (now ESACTO,2014, France), and has a producer degree from University Jean Jaures (2016, France). Her interests have allowed her to travel the world; connecting and collaborating with people from different art fields, both as an artist on stage, as well as a creative concept writer.
Gilles Jobin: Gilles Jobin trained in classical and contemporary dance. He has worked for ten years as an independent dancer in Switzerland and Spain. Jobin started his choreographic career with a solo trilogy which focused on identity: Bloody Mary (1995), Middle Suisse and Only You (1996). In 1997, he moved to London and created his first group performance A+B=X, which also marked his first collaboration with composer and leader of the rock band The Young Gods, Franz Treichler.
