Emilia & Melissa Duo


After having worked with multiple companies such as Seaworld and the Cirque du Soleil, having performed in many countries such as China, Switzerland, the United States, Canada and South Africa Emilia & Melissa Duo offer 7 numbers, each more impressive than the next : female hand to hand, tango diabolos, hand balancing, dance trapeze, bungee, aerial lyra and silk.

Acrobatic Bungee

An act high in bounces; majestic and imposing!

Presented not only for the Cirque du Soleil but many other companies as well, Emilia made bungee one of her specialities.

This original discipline will put a sparkle in your events. This number high in acrobatics will always be a success.

Dance Trapeze

A number of intensity; An energy associated with the marvellous element of fire. With its flight and movements in rotation, Melissa will transport you into the air.

With flexibility and strength,, it carries out positions which seem unreal. How can you hold all the weight of the body suspended by only the feet or by the force of the nape of the neck? Impossible? Well, come see Melissa and her trapeze at work!

Arial Silk

Climbing, rolling up, holding, moving, dancing, turning, contortion, ....All present in this multifaceted number!

Intermingled with acrobatics and surprising chutes, this number will amaze you.

Arial Lyra

This arial dance will make you appreciate the beauty of the movement of the body.

In this number Emilia rise high in the air, spin at high speeds and do movements, all with remarkable fluidity.

The spectators will be capted at from beginning till end, entranced by the beauty, speed and execution of the movements of this act.

Hand Balancing

Standing upright on her feet is too boring for Melissa. Her speciality? Balancing upsidown on her hands!

Holding on one arm and to making foolish positions with her body, wow! Why not add height and rotation on balancing canes? Splendid!

With its great purity and all its beauty, this high level technical number will take your breath away.

Hand to hand

Our principal number, that which unites us and is unique to us.

Hand to hand is strength, complicity, control and confidence. Female hand to hand female is all that, with grace, dance and flexibility.

The rarity of this type of act is a great force, and necessary to carry out these figures.

Integrating elegance with technical elements such as standing one arm extended partener balances, is a specific quality of the duet.

Authenticity and union make the force of this number and of the DUO Emilia & Melissa.

Tango Diabolos

The tango is a marvellous dance combining beauty, charm and passion. That, coupled with a symbiosis of 1 and even 2 diabolos creates the stage for this act.

The diabolos are juggling instruments which have traversed the world from China.

This number of juggling and agility is filled with elegance and will make you appreciate this art of control and precision from a new angle.
