Created in 2007 by Emile Carey and Marie-Claude Chamberland, Bande artistique is a circus design and production company that has presented internationally, including their piece, Parfois, dans la vie, les choses changent (Sometimes in life, things change), at the Montreal International Circus Festival. Emile Carey has won gold and silver medals in numerous international circus arts and juggling competitions. He has worked with companies such as the Big Apple Circus and Cirque du Soleil. Marie- Claude Chamberland studied theatre at Cegep de Saint-Hyacinthe and classical singing with Winston Purdy of McGill University. She has sung various opera roles and appeared with symphony orchestras. In 2007, she performed one of the leading parts in Synfunia in Europe. Juggling and opera come together in a humorous circus format.
