Jef Everaert & Marica Marinoni
In Difference
France
Cyr wheel
THE PROJECT / Two performers, two Cyr wheels, two different styles: Jef is pacifist and indecisive, Marica is confident and confrontational. Guided by their contrasts, the two acrobats weave a poetic and physical dialogue where conflict and complicity converge. In Difference is a journey towards a gradual break with the wheel’s traditional uses, to the point of bringing it to life.
BIO / Marica Marinoni, born in Milan in 1995, and Jef Everaert, born in Leuven in 1999, are circus artists specializing in the Cyr wheel. Both studied at the FLIC school in Turin and the CNAC in France, they developed unique approaches: Marica explores fluid, acrobatic movement, while Jef draws on his juggling background for manipulative innovation. Meeting in 2018, they began collaborating to combine their contrasting styles. In 2023, they started the co-creation of In Difference, uniting their shared passion for the mutual obsession to push the boundaries of the wheel.
