Kai Leclerc, Canadian, was born and raised in Milan, Italy. As a child already he is attracted to the world of circus, theatre and music.
He studies Literature and History at Montreal University. During his years at university he meets the founder of the multi-media group "L'Ecran Humain", Paul St-Jean, who introduces him to the basics of acrobatics. He then performs with this group at festivals throughout the world.
Kai is fascinated by the foolhardiness and discipline of the circus acrobats and decides to dedicate himself to a little-known sector of acrobatics, which can be described as "ceiling walking", which he learnt from 1995 to 1996. He is thus able to make true his dream of bringing together illusion, magic and acrobatics.
