Novy – Yvon
I discovered circus at a very young age, teaching myself the basics of diabolo and unicycle. Over the years, I trained in various circus schools in Switzerland (Fun’en’Bulle, Cirque’en’Ciel, Arabas Zirkus & Les Zarti Cirque), where I gradually focused on juggling and acrobatics as my main disciplines. Performing early on at festivals and public events shaped my relationship with the stage and live audiences.
After a short break to complete an apprenticeship, travel, and military service, I returned fully to circus—first as a teacher and technician, then by committing again to intensive training. This period confirmed my desire to pursue circus as a professional and artistic path.
In 2019, I moved to Berlin to study at Die Etage, where juggling became the core of my work, combined with partner acrobatics, hands-to-hands as a flyer, and the development of acro-juggling. Alongside my studies, I performed regularly, worked in stage management and rigging, and trained in other disciplines such as flying trapeze. I graduated in 2022, motivated and hungry for the future.
Since then, I have been working as a professional juggler and acrobat, performing in various contexts across Europe. I worked with SMOFA in Sweden on two circus-musical productions and, in 2024, created What the (H)ELLE!, a collective circus-theatre piece bringing together traditional and contemporary circus with theatrical elements. Alongside my own projects, I continue to collaborate with other companies, including a Korean Cradle duo with Omnivolant, developed for festival touring.
