In the city as on stage: Victoria Dauberville and Mathieu Forget, the couple who soar high

Victoria Dauberville and Mathieu Forget captivate the audience by playing with empty space and defying gravity. Impressive in their art but highly discreet, they evoke their romance through their choreographies.

On the rooftops of Paris, a young woman in a white tutu, with a crown on her head, dances in her partner’s arms, carried by the captivating voice of Céline Dion. The scene is from the music video for her new song, “Dansons,” released on April 17. Classical dancer Victoria Dauberville and her partner, Mathieu Forget, are the stars. While other couples appear, their aerial and captivating performance stands out, as well as their passionate kiss at sunset, with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

In life too, Victoria and Mathieu love and dance together around the world. Their unique story arose from a dual vertigo – the intangible but real love experienced by all, and the more concrete challenge of embracing emptiness daily. Victoria shares videos of her exploits on Instagram, followed by over 400,000 people, where she defies gravity in various locations. The most impressive sequence, filmed by Mathieu Forget, garnered over 70 million likes on social media, sparking some to question its authenticity.

Initially accompanying Mathieu to photograph glacier melts on a cruise, Victoria’s impromptu performance left him speechless. Despite his moniker “The Flying Man,” Mathieu was impressed by the contrast between her elegance and the rugged environment. Son of tennis player Guy Forget, Mathieu transitioned from tennis to dance and photography, aligning his perpetual movement with Victoria’s dynamic interpretation of classical ballet.

Their artistic partnership shines through their numerous choreographies shared online, hinting at their strong bond. Victoria and Mathieu keep their romance private but are often seen together at events, from Roland-Garros photocalls to movie premieres. They maintain focus on promoting their artistic projects and performances rather than sharing details of their personal relationship.

After performances in Paris in late 2025, Victoria and Mathieu embarked on a tour across France. This new artistic journey allows them to connect with their audience and express their love on stage without uttering a word.
