Over the years, he has been a disc jockey, an entertainer, a stage lighting designer, a technical director, a stage manager and much more. Versatility and proficiency are his predominant personality traits.
Then in 2010, at the age of 39, Yves was diagnosed with an advanced cancer. His life took a hole new turn. He took advantage of his convalescence journey to make an assessment of his life, to discover who he really is and to find his true purpose. One year later, victorious in his cancer battle, he decided to undergo new life projects and to meet with his artistic side, which he had kept locked in the cupboards in the past. It was engaging in circus activities and in training that Yves discovers that his physical, kinetic, artistic and spiritual sides were for the very first time in perfect harmony. It was a rebirth, a new start and a new life chapter for him. Never had he expected that circus arts would become such a passion, which he could no longer ignore or put aside.
In 2011, he joined Circus Stella, a circus group in Dieppe, New Brunswick. In 2012, he registered in circus training classes when a circus arts school opened its doors in Moncton. Yves is now adding circus artist to his vessel of skills, which includes: stilt acrobatics, aerial silks, dance trapeze, balancing and hand-to hand.
Through his story and his passions, he wishes to convey his love for life to everyone. ‘’Life is beautiful when you really want it to be!’’
