Hugo Duquette

Hugo Duquette is a trapeze artist hailing from the Montérégie region. Hugo has always loved to dance and as a teenager developed quite a reputation on the contemporary dance competition circuit. At age 17, he enrolled in circus school and immediately fell in love with trapeze-dancing. This relatively new discipline is the perfect venue to let his creativity soar. Since graduating, he has performed all over the world on cruise ships and for major circus companies. Casting aside labels, Duquette likes to deconstruct gender codes and incorporate drag queen personas into his acts. He spends his spare time on photography, drawing inspiration particularly from the LGBT artists of the 80s that he then applies to his photography, dance, and circus performances.
