He began his career as a Circassian in the 80s at the Rancy circus, alongside his idol Roger Lanzac and in the company of the Clowns les Barios. Then, for more than 20 years, he was the Loyal of Cirque Arlette Gruss. Today, for more than 10 years, he has joined the track of the legendary Bouglione winter circus in Paris.
Michel aime à dire « Je suis passionné par le cirque depuis mon enfance, et chaque fois que je suis sur une piste, je suis fou de joie car depuis plus de trente ans je réalise mon rêve de gosse ! ».
His passion, he continues to share it in a show but also in his city of Amiens, not only professionally, because he regularly crowds the track of the wonderful Cirque Jules Verne, but also with young amateurs since he is the godfather of the Cirque Cirque ÉriS of Amiens.
