Nir Jacob Yonessi

Artistic director 

Nir Jacob Younessi is an interdisciplinary artist, electronic-classical musician, designer, and artistic director working at the intersection of sound, technology, and performance. His practice blends digital innovation with raw physicality, engineering immersive sound experiences using programming, sensors, voice, and natural materials.

 

Trained in classical singing and electronic composition, Younessi is a graduate of BPM College, where he now teaches sound and music production. His artistic language moves fluidly between concert halls, experimental theater, circus arts, and contemporary art venues across the globe.

 

As a designer and artistic director, Younessi crafts worlds—both sonic and visual—where audience interaction is central. He develops interactive installations, large-scale ritual performances, and site-specific works that invite participants into layered experiences of presence, resonance, and transformation.

 

Rooted in both ancient ritual and cutting-edge media, his work often explores the boundaries of embodiment and perception through sound, light, movement, and code.

Georgina Vila Bruch

Dramaturgy and theatrical expression

Gina holds a Bachelor's degree in History - Anthropology from Paris X University, Nanterre. However, her academic journey took an intriguing turn towards the circus thereafter. Professionally trained at Toulouse's Le Lido circus school, Gina has honed her talents as a versatile performer, specializing in clowning, contortion, dance, puppetry, and acting. Over the years, she has collaborated with various esteemed companies including Blick théâtre, Atonitacie, cie. Marta Torrents, L.A by Rachid Ouramdane, cie. Pipototal, and cie. Le sarment.

 

Her artistic exploration of circus transcends mere physicality, delving into metaphor and narrative with a touch of humor. Gina is deeply involved in teaching and facilitating workshops, notably at the ESACTO-Lido circus school in Toulouse since 2018, and at the Rogelio Rivel circus school in Barcelona since 2020. Additionally, she provides invaluable support to solo artists as an External Eye, a role she aptly describes as being an "artistic midwife." Notable collaborations include guiding acts like Dori de cirque from petites natures, Droit dans le mur by Typhus Bronx, La foradada by Africa Llorens, Monticule by Cie Tractus, and Dramen Pantomimic Circus by Los Galindos.

 

Beyond the stage, Gina finds immense joy in participating in cultural mediation projects. She has lent her talents to initiatives with organizations such as Clowns Without Borders in the Philippines and Les Mains Libres in Mali and Toulouse, describing these experiences as deeply immersive and transformative.
