Live show, Performances & Contemporary Circus
Unique experiences
Julie Mondor creates unique shows that blend music, circus and live art to offer an immersive, sensory experience. Her approach aims to captivate audiences by awakening their emotions and fostering a genuine connection with the artists and their world.
The dramaturgical dimension of music is an essential point in the writing and conception of these shows. It’s a question of finding the meeting points, an organicity right from the start of the project, so that the musical dimension carries the meaning like the rest of the piece.
Julie Mondor is always searching for meaning, and offers her creative energy in a wide range of shows and performances.
She uses different media to conquer new spaces.
A few examples of my collaborations
Company Infime Entaille
Éclats (2025) | Cellist
Sparkle is a matter of perspective.
Since the term can refer to something shiny or something broken. Mineral and raucous, this creation plays on the crunch of the situation. When the pendulum swings between mediocrity and virtuosity. In a fiercely physical dance bordering on contortion, a dancer both strives and applies herself. Stubbornness and exigency converse, between desire and fear: the intensity of fury. But one accident follows another. Accident after accident. And the performance becomes improbable.
Despite the spikes and the suspension, there’s only one flight, motivated by a long series of falls, in which bursts of genius appear, absurd and magnificent, as if this body were bursting – laughing and sobbing – at the same time.
Company Sismique

Cellist and actress
Le Grondement des silences of Julien Cramillet with Julien Cramillet and Julie Mondor
Atop a 5-metre metal tree, circus artist Julien Cramillet and cellist-actress Julie Mondor explore a rich and surprising universe.
Between aerial flights, hand balancing and vibrating games, their interactions create a sensitive and communicative resonance.
Company Tangible - Élixir de terrrain
Elixir de terrain | Vitry S/Seine
Cellist and actress
Did you know that mosses and lichens have the ability to reclaim environments devoid of life?
TANGIBLE has discovered a world, admittedly tiny, but essential to biodiversity and a new understanding of what surrounds us. TANGIBLE is now embarking on a new phase of artistic research into the use of Vitrile’s vegetation as a starting point for a future field elixir. Starting out from the park, passing through the adjacent streets and the gardens of some of the local residents, come and discover the incredible story of M.Douche and TANGIBLE’s original, mobile research laboratory.
Company Inhérence
Födosökande Bi (alive) | Show by and starring Sébastien Bruas. (2022)
Musical composition
Bees are under threat—we are all aware of this fact. Fortunately, modern beekeeping has recognized the dangers they face and is doing everything possible to protect them. Phew!
That’s what many of us like to believe. Yes… but no! So, who will take care of them?
Through a gallery of characters and perspectives, this show places human practices and their consequences for our winged companions at the heart of the story. With passion, Sébastien Bruas narrates the major events that shape the lives of these tireless pollinators and how our actions affect them. We take flight, we laugh (sometimes bitterly!), and we inevitably come away… stung!
Company Tangible - Bloc usine Central EDF Vitry S/Seine
Artistic journey through the factory block Central EDF Vitry S/Seine (2021)
Cellist and actress
Artistic Journey Through the Factory Block of the EDF Power Plant – Vitry-sur-Seine
An artistic project accompanying the dismantling of the former EDF power plant in Vitry-sur-Seine.
For the 2021 European Heritage Days, Compagnie Tangible transformed the decommissioned EDF coal plant in Vitry-sur-Seine into a magical space through a poetic wandering experience.
Sound creations, choreographic performances, visual and video installations… all come together to question the presence of life within this industrial giant. “We were keen to showcase how plant and animal life had found their way into this site in transformation,” explains Edwine Fournier, co-director of the company.
The soundscape, oscillating between mechanical and organic, guides visitors through the depths of the power plant, where a cello emerges. Compositions by Gwenaëlle Roulleau, Benoît Poulain, and Julie Mondor inhabit the space—playful or hypnotic, unsettling and primal—using machines as instruments, merging with the spider-like choreographies of Edwine Fournier.
Collectif La Scabreuse
[TAÏTEUL] 2006 | La Mourre (2009) | Secret Public
Cellist and actress
In 2005, Julie Mondor co-founded the collective La Scabreuse, bringing together circus artists and musicians around creations that blend performing arts with sound experimentation.
She has directed three shows: [TAÏTEUL] (2006), a hybrid work featuring three dark-humored clowns; La Mourre (2009), a piece where music drives the dramaturgy; and Secret Public, a solo performance combining musical theater and object theater, exploring the stage presence of musicians and the interaction between sound and movement.
