Elena Damasio was born in 1995 in the beautiful city of Turin, Italy. She lived the first part of her life in the wine-friendly city of Asti until she discovered the circus and flew away with it, seeking for new adventures and challenges to learn from.
It was a summer evening, she was playing the violin with the young orchestra of her town and two people from far away decided that the nearby village was very suitable for a brand new youth circus school. That night they gave a small performance and Elena immediately fell in love with circus, announcing on the spot to embark on that career, by enrolling as first pupil in the new school. She saw it as her call of bringing joy to the people and making them forget about their problems - even if just for one minute.
In the following years she continued to professionally study circus, graduating in 2016 from “Scuola di Cirko Vertigo” in Grugliasco (TO) and getting a Bachelor degree in 2020 from Codarts, University for the Arts in Rotterdam (NL) where she specialized in Cyr wheel.
She created, together with the collective Trenina, her first show "MOI-RA-I" which premiered in 2021.
She is now working for the Company Scom performing the duo show "Trait(S)" and traveling everywhere in France.
