Cirque Hirsute was created in 2006 by Mathilde Sebald and Damien Gaumet, who both trained at the ESAC circus school in Brussels. It has developed an original style that mixes traditional circus concepts with more contemporary writing that is rich in humor and poetry. The artists add touches of the unusual, the sweet, and the biting to their technical virtuosity, and they are ingenious in the manner they find new uses for objects and they develop new types of apparatuses. Each show offers an original universe that can be baroque, dreamlike, or fantastical.

The company's past shows include Toccata (2009) that could be performed in the street or at venues; the street performance Le Blues de la Mancha (2012); Bal Caustique (created in 2006, revived in 2014); and the street performance Les Butors (2014), which is still touring. Aux étoiles! is an indoor show created in 2021 and is currently touring.
