Founding member of the Cirque Plume

Writer/Director, stage settings and artistic direction.
To catch the eye and be recognized on television he sports two mean sideburns shaved into arabesques on either cheek. You might well ask why, as he has no need of such artifices : with that whimsical Pierrot look that lights up his countenance when everything is going well, you just couldn't mistake him. Swinging on the stars, while renouncing none of the more earthly pleasures (he can speak volumes about the merits of a Chateau-Chalon 1964...), he sometimes has a bit of difficulty with affairs on the earthly plane. But, it is just this, he believes, that helps him to be creative... Even in the most elegant of settings, he will always have the caked mud of his local countryside stuck to the soles of his shoes.
An excellent juggler, he has directed all the shows put on by the company since it began.
