Théo Martin Lopez, originally from the south of France, began his circus journey at Cirk’Mosphere in Cadenet. After completing a Civic Service with the Ska ‘Barré association, where he trained in handbalancing under the guidance of Antoine Prost, he joined the CRAC de Lomme (under the mentorship of Yaqin Deng), then the École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque in Brussels, and finally completed his training at the École de Cirque de Québec in June 2025 (under the mentorship of Kenneth Lindemann).

Specialized in handbalancing, Théo aims to develop his technique by incorporating deconstructed positions and controlled relaxation. He also explores acro-dance, blending balance and dance to create surprising movements and poses. His interest in dance and other forms of physical expression, such as theater and mime, deeply informs his practice. He is also beginning to train in hand-to-hand to broaden his skill set and integrate new technical vocabulary.

Passionate about craftsmanship, Théo is developing his skills in this area through self-taught experimentation. He has designed rotating handstand blocks and a canes platform made of wood and epoxy resin. In the long term, he hopes to open his own workshop to independently produce equipment for himself and other artists.
