Boris Fodella

January 13th 1990, I'm born. That's what I was told. I don't quite remember, but I've never had a good memory.

​The next three years will be the only ones (so far) where circus is not part of my life. This is only because at age 3, my parents who were already working in the circus world, enrol me in their own circus school « Piste d’Azur »  without asking me.

I didn't insist. I continue my education, mechanically, in this recreative school.

 

Finally at the age of fifteen it is obvious to me. I want it to be my life. So I wait to graduate from high school to start studying circus for real.

I begin in 2008 with the preparatory class offered by my parent's circus school (Piste d'Azur).

In 2009, I get into l'Ecole Nationale des Arts du Cirque de Rosny-sous-bois, where I chose korean teeterboard as my main discipline. This is also where I meet Zackary Arnaud with whom we create our duo called Des Gars de Planche.

​

With the next step we arrive in Montreal. We start studying at l'Ecole Nationale de Cirque in 2011 and graduate in 2014, meeting a lot of great people along the way, including Baptiste Clerc and Charlie Mach.

With those two additions, we create the Cirque La compagnie.

We now juggle between our duo and our company around the world.
