Lea Toran Jenner discovered the circus discipline of “Cyr Wheel” during her training at the renowned National Circus School in Montreal in 2011 and immediately fell in love with this art form. In 2014, right after graduating, Lea was hired by the Canadian circus company Cirque Éloize and toured the world with the show “Cirkopolis,” performing in cities such as Santiago de Chile, Tel Aviv, Sydney, and London.

Since then, Lea has captivated international audiences with her solo Cyr Wheel performance as well as her Cyr Wheel duo, known as “Duo Unity.” Her appearances in theaters, variety shows, television programs, and festivals highlight her versatility and creativity. Notable milestones include her two-year residency at the legendary Moulin Rouge in Paris from 2017 to 2018 and again in 2023 to 2024. Thanks to her Spanish and German roots, Lea frequently performs in Germany and across Europe.

During her first engagement at the Moulin Rouge (2017–2018), Lea discovered her passion for film and cinema. During the day, she studied “Digital Filmmaking,” specializing in screenwriting, editing, and directing, and successfully completed her bachelor’s degree in Paris in early 2019.

Between 2021 and 2023, Lea captivated audiences as part of the Cirque du Soleil production LUZIA, touring primarily through Spain, Germany, and Switzerland. Another highlight of her career was the Heilbronn Christmas Circus in 2024, where she performed in Germany for the first time in a long while, thrilling her fans in her home country. In 2025, she performed alongside her stage partner Francis at the prestigious International Circus Festival in Monte Carlo, before once again taking the stage at the legendary Moulin Rouge in Paris later that year.

With her unique blend of elegance and excitement, Lea Toran Jenner performs not only with her Cyr Wheel but also with her solo and duo chandelier acts, which have already made waves at events such as Milan Fashion Week. Her passion and dedication to circus art make her one of the most exciting artists in the world of modern circus.

Under her handle @Zirkuslea, she shares insights into her life as a circus artist while striving to make modern circus more recognized and celebrated. In addition to her German channels, she runs separate English profiles to reach an international audience.

Lea Toran Jenner met her Duo Partner Francis Perreault at the École Nationale de Cirque in Montréal in 2011. They decided to work together in one Single Cyr Wheel to create an innovative circus discipline – the Cyr Wheel Duo: Duo Unity.

For their act, Lea & Francis have been rewarded with a Bronze Medal at the prestigious Circus Festival Cirque de Demain in Paris, France 2015, a Silver Award at the Budapest Lyrical Circus Festival, Hungary 2020, and a Gold Medal & Audience Award at the International Festival of Albacete, Spain 2019.
