Duo Rêves

As performance artists, we are known around the world for our distinctive performance style, unique apparatuses, versatile aesthetic, and fiery romantic chemistry. With our tireless work ethic, we take great pleasure in the creation, production and presentation of spectacular, innovative and memorable shows for all occasions. We love what we do and it shows. We would not have it any other way.

Duo Rêves offers you over 10 polished aerial and ground solo and duo acts, as well as ambient/roving characters to choose from, which can all be customized to fit virtually any theme or event. We have something to offer everyone. Recently, we have designed shows as diverse as Roaring '20's to 007, Peacock Masquerade to Vintage Carnivále, Arabian Epic Fantasy to Cirque du Glace, and Argentine Tango to a decadent Bacchanal.

With our portable, adjustable aerial rig, expansive rigging knowledge, lights and atmospheric effects, professional performer's insurance, and two lifetimes' worth of experience in show biz, we aim to bring you a magical experience that will not be forgotten. We look forward to creating an amazing experience for your event.

Internationally acclaimed Duo Rêves is the creative collaboration of Quynbi and Eric Esteb. They have performed together since 2013 on their invented hybrid aerial apparatus, The Dragonfly, among many other uniquely airworthy contraptions. The duo starred together on their Aerial Dreamcatcher in Stardust Particles' "A Brush with Death," a short film created for the Seattle 48 Hour Film Project. Photos of their act, Ziana's Gem, captured by photographer Jiamin Zhu, were featured in Vogue Italia's online platform (PhotoVogue). Their 45-minute whirlwind aerial/shadow theatre show, 'Into the Dreaming', recently headlined on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

Provided that the ceilings are at least 15', we can perform aerial acts anywhere with a hard point that can hold 2000 lbs., anywhere with an exposed steel I beam (we can provide our own beam clamp) or anywhere with ceilings over 20' and a level surface underneath for an additional $100 freestanding rig setup fee. Outdoor options are also possible - please inquire.

We need, at minimum, a 10' diameter of clear space underneath the point to perform in, and either stanchions and/or security personnel surrounding the performance area to ensure the safety of everyone present - especially spectators wandering into or underneath the performance area.

We need to have everything set up and be able to rehearse in the space at least 3 hours prior to showtime.

Lastly, we require a private greenroom in which to prepare for the performance/s.

PLEASE NOTE: All deposits are non-refundable in the event of cancellation by the client.
