After touring for a decade as an artist with Cirque du Soleil, I surely met a lot of incredible people from all over the world. I thought I’d be crazy not to share some of these inspiring stories, amazing creative processes, and crazy adventures from every corner of the industry. Join me every week with my guests from the world of TV, movies, music, sports, and of course Cirque du Soleil!

    Celebrating 30 years at Cirque du Soleil this year, ‘Uncle Boris’ Verkhovsky mentors us on the many evolutions under the sun. Eloquently highlighting the achievements without shying away from the setbacks of the company, he generously clarifies the role of a coach, acrobatic conception and creation processes. With a lifetime in acrobatics, there are no flips, twists, or drops that fly under his radar!

    GABRIEL DUBÉ-DUPUIS! Cirque du Soleil's Renaissance Man

    It would be difficult to be a hardcore Cirque fan if you do not know this epic, behind the scenes anchor. Much like his life-changing, department-hopping internship at Mystere as a teenager, Gabriel Dubé-Dupuis has filled many shoes for Cirque Du Soleil. From filming with creation teams and backstage management to show calling, all the way to creating shows, he certainly knows this company from the inside out. Who better to link the tales of then and now than someone who has been integrated in the company for 28 years?!
