He feeds off his own curiosity, imagination, inventiveness and his tendency to seek balance, all of which are apparent in his astounding work.Despite what the viewer may think, the images he creates are not modified. Trained acrobat, a passionate Décoste has been around the world and back, having worked for Cirque du Soleil since 1985.
