MEET THE CAST: Madeline

“My favorite way to connect with people is when it is unexpectedly validating for us both.” - Madeline Elaine Farinas de Leon
Madeline began aerial training in the Chicagoland area after discovering lyra at age twelve. Specializing in Roman rings and lyra, she is a versatile generalist who performs across multiple circus disciplines. Her work is strongly informed by circus history, drawing inspiration from archival photographs, and historical writings.
Madeline is performing as the opening act to ‘Désolé’ on Roman rings with a contemporary twist and explores giving up a comfortable, long-worn identity in service of moving on, and the struggles that come with an inability to face that transition directly.
