Our world

A passion for movement. A love of wonder.

Productions Cirque Estrie was born of a conviction: the performing arts hold a rare power to bring people together and transform the way we experience a moment.

At the crossroads of contemporary circus, creation and event production, we imagine experiences where artistic rigour meets the freedom to dream.

The faces behind Cirque Estrie

Erin Cervantes and Étienne Cusin

Co-founders of Productions Cirque Estrie

Two paths, one shared passion.

After travelling the world and enriching their experience on many different stages, Erin and Étienne chose to bring their talents and artistic vision together to create Productions Cirque Estrie.

Together, they share one ambition: to make the circus arts shine, celebrate creativity and turn every encounter into an unforgettable moment.

The world as inspiration. The Eastern Townships as home.

Erin Cervantes

Erin Cervantes

Erin Cervantes is an internationally renowned circus artist, performer and artistic director whose career spans contemporary circus, television, film, music productions and live entertainment.

With more than seventeen years of professional experience, she is known for combining exceptional technical mastery with a stage presence full of grace, emotion and sensitivity.

Coming from theatre and contemporary dance, Erin developed her artistic world in Los Angeles before devoting her career to contemporary circus. A master of the aerial hoop, she is also skilled in aerial silks, hammock, Cyr wheel, harness, bungee, flying trapeze, dance and character work.

For eight years, Erin toured the world with Cirque du Soleil, performing the famous Chandelier act in Corteo. Her path also led her to work with Spiegelworld – Absinthe in Las Vegas, Marvel Universe Live, Cirque Mechanics, Troupe Vertigo, Zen Arts and many other international productions.

Beyond the stage, Erin has taken part in many television productions and music videos associated with artists such as Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses and Snoop Dogg.

After years on the world's greatest stages, Erin chose to come back to Bromont. Alongside Étienne Cusin, she co-founded Productions Cirque Estrie.

As executive producer and artistic director, she imagines and shapes the artistic identity of every creation.

For Erin, every performance is a chance to spark wonder, to create a true human connection and to remind us that, for a moment, the impossible can become beautifully real.

Étienne Cusin

Étienne Cusin

A Bromont resident for many years, Étienne Cusin is an entrepreneur, creative visionary and production director with more than 25 years of experience turning ambitious ideas into exceptional achievements.

Entirely self-taught, he has built a unique path where craftsmanship, technical innovation and creativity meet to bring extraordinary projects to life.

The founder of Cusin Custom Works, a company specializing in high-end custom fabrication, Étienne has spent more than two decades designing exclusive functional works for an international clientele looking for one-of-a-kind pieces.

Determined to reinvent himself, he completely rebuilt his life at the age of 30. With no formal training, he learned his trade by building a fully customized car from scratch himself, a founding experience that became the starting point of an exceptional career.

Throughout his international career, he has worked on several major Cirque du Soleil productions, including Corteo, Luzia, Crystal, Totem and Alegría, as well as with Blue Man Group.

These experiences took him across North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Latin America.

It was during the American tour of Corteo, in Lincoln, Nebraska, that he met Erin Cervantes.

Together, they chose to come back to the Eastern Townships with a shared vision: to create a company able to offer world-class immersive experiences while showcasing their region.

For Étienne, the true success of a production is measured not only by its technical perfection, but by the emotion it leaves behind.

His ultimate goal is to create moments so extraordinary that every guest leaves with a sense of wonder, thinking:

“I can't believe what I just saw.”

A word from Paul Baraka

Paul Baraka

Multidisciplinary artist Founder of Elyxium Corporation

For more than 30 years, Paul Baraka has explored the meeting points between music, image, technology and human emotion.

An artist, composer, creator and entrepreneur, he deeply believes in the power of art to bring people together and to bring to life ideas that once seemed impossible.

His meeting with Productions Cirque Estrie follows the same philosophy: recognizing the light in others and helping it shine.

Through Elyxium Corporation, he volunteers his support for the development of Productions Cirque Estrie's identity, visual world and digital presence, convinced that projects driven by passion deserve the means to match their ambitions.

“When we help the light of others shine, the world becomes a little brighter.”

Our philosophy

The beauty of movement. The power of emotion.

We believe art is never more powerful than when it makes us feel something.

A spontaneous sense of wonder.
A shared laugh.
A hush before the impossible.

These are the emotions that give our work its meaning.

We love the precision of a gesture, the daring of imagination and the generosity of artists.

But above all, we love those moments when the distance between stage and audience disappears.

When art is no longer simply watched. It's lived.
