The act

Precision at full speed. Trust without limits.

Philippe Bélanger and Marie-Lee Guilbert transform the unicycle into a moving stage for high-level hand-to-hand acrobatics.

Their signature act balances danger and elegance: rapid choreography, seemingly impossible balances, and a connection refined since 2009 on the world’s most demanding stages. The result is visual, immediate, and understood in any language.
