I joined a circus school in France in 2015 and worked as a circus performer for a year. After failing to become an Olympic gymnast, I enrolled in L'École du Cirque Jules Verne, a circus school in Amiens in northern France. I trained there for a year while performing on the street and in venues including a castle and a traditional circus tent. A desk job gave my working days more structureCirque Jules Verne in Amiens, France. Wikimedia CommonsThe circus school director, Nordine Allal, was quite the character — always loud and busy.

He's been performing his art for 40 years and joined Cirque du Soleil in 2007. We were the first high-wire artists to ever win it, and our prize was to join Cirque du Soleil. In Cirque du Soleil, we always have a backup artist to cover us when we're not fit to perform. The company also takes care of usThe best example of this is in 2007, shortly after we joined Cirque du Soleil. I don't have to cook for myself anymore, as Cirque du Soleil has an amazing kitchen.
☆ Haiti activists urge U.S. to stop arms trafficking to gangs
  + stars: | 2023-03-09 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
March 8 (Reuters) - Haitian rights activists on Wednesday called for a stop to the trafficking of weapons into Haiti, as the Caribbean state faces a humanitarian crisis driven by gangs who rights groups say now control most of the country. Haiti does not produce weapons but boys are often seen carrying assault rifles, understood to be from the United States, said Guerline Jozef of migrant-focused non-profit the Haitian Bridge Alliance. "When we are receiving heavy weaponry from the United States and other international culprits, people can kill with impunity and we will not see accountability," she said at an event in Los Angeles. "If we can stop the flow of heavy weaponry into Haiti, then we can start to see relief in sight." Both Ducena and Solages rejected government assertions it had been helping thousands of women who survived sexual abuse.

REUTERS/Ralph Tedy ErolOTTAWA, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Canada delivered armored vehicles to Haiti on Wednesday to help combat criminal gangs as the Caribbean nation faces a humanitarian crisis, the Canadian foreign ministry said. Haitian gangs have seized control of much of the country since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise, leading to routine gun battles with police. Hundreds died in turf battles last year, and in September, Haitian gangs blocked a fuel terminal for nearly six weeks, halting most economic activity. Canada and the United States provided tactical and armored vehicles and other supplies in October after Haiti urged the international community to send in a "specialized armed force."

Every year, starting in early fall, photo editors at The New York Times begin sifting through the year’s work in an effort to pick out the most startling, most moving, most memorable pictures. But 2022 undoubtedly belongs to the war in Ukraine, a conflict now settling into a worryingly predictable rhythm. Erin Schaff/The New York Times “When you’re standing on the ground, you can’t visualize the scope of the destruction. Jim Huylebroek for The New York Times Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb. 25.

REUTERS/Ricardo ArduengoOct 18 (Reuters) - Haiti is facing a humanitarian crisis, with shortages of food, fuel and water causing catastrophic hunger, and the government pleading for military assistance from abroad. The trigger for the current crisis is the blockade of a key fuel terminal by armed gangs that began in September. The G9 on Sept. 12 dug trenches outside the main entrance of the Varreux fuel terminal to protest an announcement by Prime Minister Ariel Henry that the government was cutting fuel subsidies. The fuel shortages have halted most economic activities.
☆ Haiti gang blockade is causing catastrophic hunger, U.N. officials say

"We have for the first time a famine present in Haiti," Ulrika Richardson, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the U.N. system in Haiti, said in a telephone interview. A U.N. spokesperson later clarified that Richardson should have described the situation as catastrophic hunger rather than famine. Richardson said other countries need to do more to support Haiti, as the Caribbean country's humanitarian response plan for this year has received less then 30% of the required funding. The situation was "close to breaking point", Jean-Martin Bauer, World Food Program country director in Haiti, told reporters earlier. U.S. development agency USAID on Friday sent a Disaster Assistance Response Team to Haiti, the agency's chief, Samantha Power, wrote on Twitter.

Cirque du Soleil a anunţat miercuri reluarea, începând din această vară, a patru dintre spectacolele sale emblematice, întrerupte de mai bine de un an din cauza pandemiei, relatează joi AFP. ''Acesta este momentul pe care l-am aşteptat cu toţii'', a declarat Daniel Lamarre, CEO al companiei Cirque du Soleil. ''Au trecut aproape 400 de zile de la închiderea noastră forţată şi aşteptam cu nerăbdare revenirea pe scenă", a adăugat Lamarre. Majoritatea dintre aceştia au fost concediaţi în iunie, când grupul a solicitat protecţia instanţei pentru a evita falimentul. Compania a fost cumpărată oficial în toamnă de fondul canadian Catalyst.

„Acesta este momentul pe care l-am aşteptat cu toţii”, a declarat Daniel Lamarre, directorul general al companiei Cirque du Soleil. „Au trecut aproape 400 de zile de la închiderea noastră forţată şi aşteptam cu nerăbdare revenirea pe scenă”, a adăugat Lamarre. Formată în Quebec în anul 1984, trupa de acrobaţi a fost nevoită să anuleze, în martie 2020, 44 de producţii programate în toate colţurile lumii din cauza pandemiei de coronavirus, ceea ce a făcut ca 4 679 de acrobaţi şi tehnicieni, echivalentul a 95 % dintre angajaţii companiei, să intre în şomaj tehnic. Majoritatea dintre aceştia au fost concediaţi în iunie, când grupul a solicitat protecţia instanţei pentru a evita falimentul. Compania a fost cumpărată oficial în toamnă de fondul canadian Catalyst.
