Thaïs Robin was born in the North of France and began classical dance in her childhood, surrounded by her two sisters. She continued her training at the Conservatory of Boulogne-Billancourt in jazz dance, following a specialized schedule in middle and high school.

Matéo Souillard began dancing at the age of ten through the practice of capoeira. He then joined a hip-hop association in the Toulouse region, which truly ignited his passion for movement. At 17, he decided to make dance his profession and started a classical dance program at the Conservatory of Blagnac before joining the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional in Paris for contemporary dance. He obtained his Dance Teaching Diploma (DEC) in 2022 and continued his journey by joining the professional training program Coline in Istres, where he danced for Hervé Robbe, Johan Leighton, Alban Richard, Catherine Legrand, and Christian Ubl. Inspired by all these teachings, he created two pieces, Aujourd’hui Barracuda and Léger léger, where he seeks to explore what drives him and evokes questions within him.
Konstantina Tsimeka started dancing at a very young age, taking classical and contemporary dance classes in Greece. She pursued her academic studies at the professional dance school of the Greek National Opera in Athens and then joined the Junior Ballet of Geneva, where she will receive her certificate in June 2024. During her studies, she had the opportunity to work on and interpret pieces by renowned choreographers such as Sasha Waltz, Hofesh Shechter, Marcos Morau, Alessandro Sciarroni, Édouard Hue, Kor’sia, Jiri Kylian, and Konstantinos Rigos.

Lukas Ynga was born in Geneva and speaks French, Spanish, English, and Italian. His passion for theater and the stage began in childhood, surrounded by a family of dancers, singers, and musicians. He decided to pursue a career in theater and obtained a specialized maturity in Dramatic Arts after three years of study at the General Culture School and one year at the Conservatory of Geneva. After a second year at the Conservatory, he enrolled at the Accademia Dimitri in Verscio, where he underwent three years of training and will earn his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Theatre in 2024.
