Born in Buenos Aires, Juan Ignacio Tula started out in an Argentinian alternative music band. At the age of 17, he took up dance (Lindy hop, tango, contemporary dance) and learned to appreciate movement while simultaneously practicing the arts of the circus. While at the Vertigo Circus in Italy in 2010, he began practicing the Cyr wheel; his desire to take the discipline further led him to France, to the CNAC, where he met Stefan Kinsman.

Born in Switzerland, Stefan Kinsman grew up in Costa Rica and started to juggle and play music at the age of 13. In 2010, he joined the circus school Flic in Turin, Italy, where he specialized in the Cyr wheel. He crossed Juan Ignacio Tula's path upon his arrival at the CNAC in 2013. Together, they continued to expand their methodology at the Mpta Company – putting hands, feet, and even heads to work. This work was done within the framework of a partnership dedicated to the creation of their first projects in collaboration with Mathurin Bolze and Séverine Chavrier, Jérôme Fèvre and Gildas Céleste, and Jérémie Cusenier.
