Considered one of the most innovative concept in contortion, Duo Extasia offers a unique combination of grace, poetry, outstanding physical ability and live music, in a memorable conception that combines fascinating circus skills and sophisticated elegance. For the very first time, a musician also acting as a physical partner while playing his saxophone.

Jacynthe Normandeau has been performing professionally around the world since 1973, with great companies such as "Cirque du Soleil", "Les Grand Ballets Canadiens", "Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal" , "Cirque Eloize", "Norwegian Cruise Line", just to name a few... In 1991, she received a grant from the Government of Quebec for the creation of a new artistic concept (contortion on ballet toe shoes) and was ranked first amongst all candidates.

Saxophonist, composer and arranger, Vincent Pellerin has been working professionally in the music business for nearly 15 years, and is regularly engaged especially for his strong presence and inexhaustible energy! He's been working over the years with hundreds of bands, artists and producers such as "Dansesing","Marie-Michelle Desrosiers","Pierre Séguin", "Chico Band", "Audrey DeMontigny", just to name a few. He also compose and produce music for advertisements, websites and corporate video presentations.

In 2000, Jacynthe created another new concept and formed her partner to become the first musician capable to do lifts while playing. Three years later, Vincent is now able to do some basic contortion figures, also while playing. They perform worldwide in variety, corporate events, circus, etc...

Jacynthe and Vincent offer two different duos : "Extasia",a magical and romantic act, and "Huang Chung", a chinese concept. Jacynthe also performs two solos acts: "Clowntorsion", "What a wonderful world", and also creates custom acts for many clients.
