"My life is my book, and I would like to write it beautifully." Maksym Semiankiv

Hi there, nice to meet you.
My name is Maks, I’m from Ukraine 🇺🇦, and I’m 33 years old. I was a professional gymnast in the past, and today, I perform with Cirque du Soleil.
The last four years of my life have been filled with uncertainty. I struggled to find my place in this chaotic world of “experience.”
Everyone told me I lacked experience — a hard truth to accept. But I didn’t give in. I didn’t give up. I kept trying, again and again.
And today, I’m proud to say: “I am a Cirque du Soleil artist.”
I’m also the father, a happy husband, and together we travel the world with the circus🎪.
