Seven months into a three-year contract, he was offered the understudy of the principal character "Monsieur Fleur". Two years later he got the full time role of the character, which he held until 2003. Ebon also performed in Cirque du Soleil's [i]Zumanity[/i], where he was "The Faun" and an aerialist. He now resides on the Gold Coast and is a freelance performer and circus and gymnastics instructor.
