It is a tribute to this visionnary and fiery defender of circus arts, and emphasizes its capacity to allow our graduates to shine accross the world. It bears witness of the richness of our common history and is a testimony to the successes of our common projects.” states Éric Langlois, Executive Director at the National Circus School.
