–  Mathieu Dochterman, Toute la culture.com

"Johann Le Guillerm is a circus performer who has a mad talent for unveiling the nature of the world with his strange objects and machines that are on the cusp of being alive."

– Les Inrocks

Johann Le Guillerm was the featured artist at the 2017 edition of BIAC and played to a sold-out crowd at the Tent Village for a month.

Johann Le Guillerm is a graduate of the first-ever class of the CNAC circus school. He worked with Archaos, participated in the creation of the Volière Dromesko, and co-founded Cirque O. In 1994, he created his own company, Cirque ici, and his first solo show, Où ça?

Johann Le Guillerm received the Grand Prix National du Cirque (1996), the Prix des Arts du Cirque SACD (2005), and the Grand Prix SACD in 2017 for his body of work.

In 2001, he dedicated himself to Attraction, a vast research project that questions balance, forms, perspectives, and movement. Defining himself as an explorer of the realm of perspectives, he shatters the lines that demarcate traditional circus disciplines. Attraction is a project that manifests itself in various forms: a research laboratory, moving sculptures, observation tools, freestanding sculptures, graphic poems, an observatory of flying objects, a show under a big top, a conference-performance… the body of work takes on as many forms as there are construction sites and perspectives.
