The Kollektiv
Ino Kollektiv was born in the summer of 2017 out of the desire to get together to perform group acrobatics and have fun swapping places, each trying out a new role. Flyers who base, bases who fly, with the certainty of always being able to count on the strength of the collective. In June 2019, the collective presented a first version of the show ‘INO’ at the CIRCADA Festival in Seville, which subsequently won the prize for ‘best street circus show’ at the 2019 Zirkolika Awards in Catalonia, and a mention at the Territorio Violeta Festival (ES). We performed ‘INO’ more than 50 times at festivals in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Côte d'Ivoire, Belgium and the Netherlands. In 2025, Ino Kollektiv presents its new show ‘SITU’.
We are six artists of six nationalities, speaking seven different languages and each bringing a personal universe of our own. All these singularities together open a window on a world offering a complexity that is precious to us.
Rebecca
Our Bradypus Germanicus came to France to learn hand balancing at the Académie Fratellini and clowning at the Samovar school. She is also part of two projects: the Füt Füt collective and the Plaisir Burlesque collective.
Chloé
An immovable porcelain woman. Her calm presence
accompanies Ino K. and the Cie L'immédiat. Before that, she left her native Brittany to study hand balancing and group acrobatics at Arc-en-Cirque, Chambéry.
Alba
She is the Catalan force of the collective. Trained in social education, then in the circus arts, she is now involved in artistic mediation projects. Her stage work is based on a constant study of movement, performativity and conceptualisation.
Raphaëlle
She hops, she wriggles. After starting her career in civil engineering, she studied group acrobatics and chinese pole at Arc-En-Cirque in Chambéry.
She is also working with the company La Migration and Compagnie de l’hêtre.
Juliette
An traveller at heart, she particularly enjoys working with groups. Her work combines circus and dance. She is also sensitive to theatre and music, which influence her creativity.
Eva Luna
Our little bookworm. Italian-Argentinian, she loves trying to put herself in other people's shoes, whether through reading or performing. She studied circus at Piste d'Azur in France.
Ino Kollektiv is part of Compagnie L, a French company based in Essonne (Île-de-France).
