Graduates
Knight of l’Ordre national du QuébecJeannot Painchaud, graduate from the School (1991) and president of Cirque Eloize, received the most prestigious recognition granted by the Province of Quebec.
“This is an honour I share with all the successful artists and artisans from Cirque Éloize over the past 25 years. I think in particular of all the young people who, like me, one day looked out at the horizon and said to themselves they’d like to set out for distant shores and discover the world. The pleasure that we take at Cirque Éloize in promoting our culture around the globe is a great source of pride. We will continue this adventure with passion and determination,” said Jeannot Painchaud during the ceremony. Learn more.
