Alexandre Saintin created his first show, Quelle émotion(?), in 2002, following his training at the Lido-Centre des arts du cirque in Toulouse. He performed it throughout France and abroad (Italy, India, Mexico).
At the same time, he took part in the creation of the versatile short-form show Le Tennis as a circus umpire. This trio, featuring Sylvain Cousin and Fredo Lehaut, toured Europe, Africa and Asia between 2003 and 2011.
In 2015, he founded the Cie Facile d’Excès with Olivier Collongues, presenting the show Maint’now! – a burlesque skipping rope duo for the street – which toured until 2022, giving over 500 performances (France, Switzerland, Belgium, French Guiana).
The company works mainly in public spaces, presenting clown-inspired shows, driven by a desire for light-heartedness and to share the experience with as many people as possible.
In 2022, for the company Gros Débit's second production, Alexandre Saintin teamed up with Yann Oliveri and Fabien Roynette. To date, Gros Débit has performed over 200 shows in three years (France, Belgium, Spain).
