Eduardo de Azevedo Grillo was born and raised in the south of Brazil. He was not the most athletic kid but liked to try new things and experience different ways to do things. He didn’t care if he was bad at something. At age 15 he started practicing dance and circus and fell in love with the idea of pushing his body to physical and artistic extremes. He decided to pursue them as a career. Today, after graduating from the National Circus School of Montréal, he is still trying to find new ways to push himself out of his comfort zone and create more empathy between artist, art, and the public.

Nella has had a passion for acrobatics ever since she was a kid. She grew up doing cartwheels and has been continuously hanging upside-down for a couple decades now. In her career, she has performed in a variety of shows, her favorites being full-length pieces, where you spend a long time on stage and can form a connection with the audience. She hopes this performance brings you as much joy as performing it does for her. @njeeeva

Born in Québec City, Méliejade was first exposed to the arts at the Québec Circus School during a summer camp at the age of five. Growing up, she practiced many different art forms such as gymnastics, singing, and classical, contemporary, and Irish dance. However, she decided to devote herself to circus because it allows her to utilize her diverse artistic background. Méliejade graduated from the Québec Circus School in 2017. Her principal discipline is hula-hoop because it combines what she loves most: the rhythm of dance and the contortion of the body.
