Benjamin Dupont

After studying industrial design, Benjamin joined Cirque du Soleil in 2008, in the Research and Development department. In 2013, he joined the Creative Guide Office as Creative Content Designer, creating a variety of show concepts and special events. In addition, he develops new live entertainment formats, such as an immersive and participatory experience created in conjunction with Walt Disney Imagineering, as well as exploring other mediums, such as the award-winning short film ” Sparked – A Live Interaction“. Then, as Creative Lead at Cirque du Soleil Events + Experiences, he directed a series of large-scale events, including Cirque du Soleil Scalada: STELAR in Andorra, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Dubai World Cup 2018, and a show for Saudi Arabia’s National Day in 2019. He also wrote and directed the two original creations, SYMA and VARÉLIA, which have been presented on board the MSC Bellissima since 2019. Thanks to his multidisciplinary approach, Benjamin is adept at guiding design teams through the creative process, right up to the delivery of the experience.
