Troupe Vertigo
Los Angeles-based theatrical circus company Troupe Vertigo was founded in 2009 by Aloysia Gavre (Cirque du Soleil) and her husband Rex Camphuis (Pickle Family Circus/ film and theater producer). They create an eclectic and refreshing mix of circus-dance-theater works that ignite the imagination with mentally and physically spellbinding performances. They have been creatively involved with world-class symphonies, contributing widely with their theatrical sensibilities to help create new audiences to symphonic concerts.
Troupe Vertigo encompasses the wide spectrum of the performing arts, including performances at theaters, concert halls, festivals and special events. Their facility is also home to Cirque School, Los Angeles’ premier circus training space, which inspires an appreciation for the circus arts for “anybody with any body.”
Due to their locale and having Cirque School as their sister company, Gavre and Camphuis’ expertise is often used for the film and television industry, most notably for Rebel Wilson’s aerial performance in Pitch Perfect 2.
