Her passion for the stage starts as early as age four, at a time when Erika begins classical ballet. At eleven years old, while discovering circus arts, she finds her way and her true passion.

Very early on, she gets noticed in the circus world, notably when she wins the gold medal and the public award at an international competition « La Piste aux Espoirs 1998 ». And she is only fourteen! Rigourous work ethics and outstanding willpower allow her to develop physical and artistic qualities that distinguishes her from her peers. Erika is also known for her versatility since she practices four disciplines from circus arts. Today, she illustrates herself across the world as an independant artist with her many different creations.

Érika has recently been rewarded with a 3rd prize at the “Golden Circus festival” in Roma and also got a bronze medal Festival de Cirque de Demain” in Paris.

Erika Lemay gives it a very particular tinge. The circus artist demonstrates outstanding agility and precision and this allows her to execute a string of acrobatic movements while at the same time unfurling a rotational force thus becoming a true aerial spinning top.

The spectator is then not only bewitched by these unbelievable swirling movements, but also by a deeply moving theatrical passion. More than twelve years of work has enabled this artist to master the aerial hoop in such a spectacular fashion.
