Enya White, who performs in the water sequence on the trapeze, enrolled in circus school when she was nine years old; at 12, she began training as an aerialist. She was drawn to the discipline because it gave her a sense of flight and freedom: “I loved the feeling of being able to dance in the air without touching the ground,” she says.Not long after joining Cirque du Soleil in 2015, White began working on, a show inspired by the culture, landscape and folklore of Mexico.
