Join our adventures in life on stage! Aerial hammock, contortion, juggling, hula hoop, diabolo, aerial rope, aerial hoop and cyr wheel.Â
Everything in this show is based on a love story… how Cirque du Soleil performers met and became husband and wife. They even share real footage from their time touring North America with Cirque du Soleil before they got married.
Look for the subtle meaning in every moment. Even the rose petals are from their wedding day. The letter is an actual card Alexandr wrote to Sante before he asked her to be his wife. Their show also features a friend who witnessed them fall in love.
Santé D’Amours Fortunato received her CEGEP College Diploma in 2011 from the National Circus School, Montreal. Santé toured internationally as a circus artist for numerous companies. In 2017, she joined Cirque du Soleil Corteo as a hula hoop soloist, and aerialist in the chandelier act; during this time, Santé met her husband and fellow circus artist Alexandr. FOREV was their first creation when everything was on pause.
