Alexander Straub:
Alexander Straub is one of the youngest and most successful magicians in the international elite league.
At just 16 years old, he already performed for David Copperfield in Las Vegas and became the first magician to win the world champion title in the variety category at the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood in 2014.
Since then, countless TV appearances followed, his videos on the internet are viewed millions of times, and hundreds of thousands of fans follow him on social media and attend sold-out live shows.
"He possesses dexterity like no one else" - just one of the quotes from TV legend Stefan Raab, who frequently invited Alexander to his shows.
Since 2018, Alexander Straub has been touring with his own stage show, performing sold-out tours in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Duo LeOle:
Two bodies, two souls, two people - one wheel.
Ole and Leonie are two very different artists who share the same passion. The duo act shows how different the styles and movements can be on the same apparatus - the Roue Cyr. In swirling and twisting acrobatic figures, the duet presents both contrast and harmony.
Dirk Scheffel:
Dirk Scheffel - the fastest xylophonist in the universe…
... ignites true waves of enthusiasm.
1000 beats per minute
What starts gently and decorously culminates in an unrestrained music show - without Dirk Scheffel ever losing control over his instrument. From rock to classical, from timid-shy to completely crazy - Dirk Scheffel masters all forms of comedy, action, music, and show.
He skillfully plays his concert xylophone, and it gets especially fast when he incorporates microphone stands, coffee cups, and other sound elements. Then there’s no holding back; shoes may even fly off, and the consumption of mallets leaves suppliers cheering. By now, when Dirk pushes his limits and goes beyond, both artists and audience are in ecstasy.
Anna & Saleh:
“We need nothing but ourselves - no props, no flashy costumes - it’s just us; two bodies and seemingly infinite possibilities.”
A symbiosis of two bodies. Anna and Saleh reinterpret hand-to-hand acrobatics entirely and elevate the traditional art form to a whole new level. Contrary to classical gender roles, it is Anna who supports her duo partner Saleh and forms the strong base for his handstand. The duo's performances tell dynamic stories of contrasts, balancing their powers until their limits blur. Through innovative tricks and dance-like movements, Anna and Saleh repeatedly create unusual images and harmonious moments that astonish their audience.
ABOUT THE DUO
Anna and Saleh met in 2011 at the State School for Circus Arts in Berlin and decided to work together and train as a duo four years later. Ultimately, both graduated - Anna with her solo dance trapeze, Saleh with his solo handstand on the seesaw, and together in their duo acrobatics. Since then, they have been on various stages. From the largest theaters in Europe, they perform on luxury cruise ships, through museums, to the Biennale in Venice, and are awarded several prizes. One of the most significant awards they receive is at the 41st Festival Mondial Du Cirque De Demain. For this duo performance, they are awarded the Prix Moulin Rouge in 2020. Wherever Anna and Saleh perform, they enchant the audience with their extraordinary dynamics.
Due to their diverse range, Anna and Saleh are open to new projects in which their skills can be utilized. They are also happy to share their knowledge and can be booked for workshops and private lessons.
Trio Bokafi:
The Trio Bokafi was founded in 1999, with the latest version of the group emerging in 2020, featuring Leona and Gabor as group members. The trio performs in the world's largest varietés and dinner shows. The highlight of the unique, high-energy performance is the legendary triple jump.
Tim Höfel:
Atmospheric. Entertaining. Captivating.
Tim Höfel’s BMX show is an atmosphere-building BMX Flatland show act: A discipline of BMX art practiced on flat ground. With some calm, slow elements of old school flatland and fast, rapid tricks of modern flatland, he captivates the audience. Additionally, he showcases his acrobatic skills, making his BMX show unique. Book Tim Höfel’s BMX show for your event! The laws of physics seem to be suspended, and the audience enjoys a fascinating, atmospheric, and exciting show.
