Monaco has been known for years for its glamorous and luxury side that attracts visitors around the world.
Nevertheless, Monaco can also be considered has the capital of performing arts when we get a closer look at its high quality shows in various performing art disciplines such as opera, ballet and foremost the circus and magic.
First of all, the Monte-Carlo Circus Festival created in 1974 by Prince Rainier, rapidly became the leading circus festival in the world. It can be explained by the fact that it is the first of its kind created in the world with every year upscale international performers and acts. It can also be explained by the fact that it is internationally broadcasted through television and that winners get their prizes directly from the Prince which with no doubt add something to this event!
The other main event is the Monte-Carlo Magic Stars. This magic festival is also one of the oldest of the magic festivals in the world.

Although I pursued my financial studies in Boston in the U.S.A., I decided to leave the world of business for the world of entertainment.
Not that was much of a surprise since I was born in a circus.
My parents were working at Circus Bouglione at the time and my subsequent childhood was spent in various circuses including Knie, Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey, etc...
Once my studies were done, I took a position at Feld Entertainment as "Performance Director" on their new show and production of "Barnum's Kaleidoscape."
Returning to Monaco I became the assistant general manager of a company called Marsu Productions. For four years I managed the rights of the famous comics characters created by Franquin: Marsupilami and Gaston Lagaffe.
After that it was a normal and logical step for me to return to the world of entertainment and live my passion fully.
