*what is Cie Bonne Pioche ?

After years roaming the streets of France and Spain, Tommy founded Compagnie Bonne Pioche in 2010, bringing together artists from many different backgrounds around a shared love of performance. Deeply rooted in street and live performance, the company's work weaves together comedy, juggling, music, magic, fire and light — everything that makes people dream. Shows full of emotion and wonder. Compagnie Bonne Pioche means 20 years of experience and several thousand performances. Based in Lagorce, Ardèche, the company performs in the surrounding villages as much as across France and Europe : wherever people want to dream, you have a chance of finding us. Let yourself be spellbound.

But who are they ?

Tommy

Compagnie Bonne Pioche — that's him. A multi-instrumentalist who set out to conquer the streets of France and Spain, Tommy picked up juggling along the way and never let it go. In 2010, he decided to bring it all together under one roof and founded the company. Since then : thousands of performances, 6 albums, and always that same desire to make people dream.

Chris

Chris is here because someone has to tinker with the props and the lights, push their limits and handle the technical side. Drawn into fire art, flowarts, and slacklining in 2017, he honed his skills through years of travel before joining the company in 2021. Since then, Les Expériences Déjantées (L.E.D) and LED there be light have come to life — coincidence ? Surely.

Elflo

Elflo has been spinning poi since adolescence. But what spins with them is a whole universe : movement, choreography, theatre... One prop, a thousand ways to inhabit it. Fire and light do the rest.
