About Me

A journey of passion, resilience, and artistic evolution across continents

I've been chasing the extraordinary since I was a child. What started as a fascination with extreme sports — BMX riding and freestyle roller-skating — became the foundation for a remarkable career that has taken me across continents and pushed the boundaries of circus artistry.

At 14 years old, encouraged by those who saw my potential, I auditioned for Hungary's prestigious State Institute of Acrobats and was accepted on my first attempt. I specialized in Icaria while mastering jazz-ballet, juggling, and acrobatics—building the diverse skill set that would define my career. My professional debut came at Budapest's renowned Madách Theatre, performing as an acrobat in the production of Cats.

When a career-threatening accident during horse jockey training forced me to step back from dance and traditional acrobatics, I refused to let it end my story. Instead, I adapted, joining a trampoline act with Zavatta in France, then becoming a catcher with a Russian swing group that toured Europe, Malaysia, Korea, and the United Arab Emirates.

My true calling emerged when I began creating my own work. I developed original choreography for straps performances, crafting every element—from story and style to trick combinations and musical arrangements. In 2009, I trained in the innovative aerial act of cobweb at the State Institute, working with props designed by Maya Orfei under professional guidance.

My artistic vision expanded when I joined Circo Bellucci's Alcatraz, where I gradually took on directorial and choreographic responsibilities. This experience ignited my passion for complete show creation. Four years ago, I conceived and produced The Greatest Show, teaching myself lighting programming, music curation, and narrative development to bring my vision to life.

Today, I'm not just a performer. I'm a complete creative force. Alongside my father's guidance, I've mastered video and music editing, skills that prove invaluable in creating promotional content and refining performances. My latest production showcases multiple artists, diverse musical styles, and innovative comedy elements, reflecting my evolution as both artist and director.

With decades of international performance experience, technical expertise across multiple circus disciplines, and proven ability to conceive and execute complete productions, I offer a unique combination of artistic vision and practical execution. I don't just perform. I create experiences that captivate audiences worldwide.
