Bio

I began to immerse myself in the world of the circus almost unconsciously, simply driven by the desire to have fun juggling with balls. I then discovered that I enjoyed it a lot and also started using clubs. Later, I felt like trying my hand at unicycling and gymnastics. At that time, I was 16 years old and lived in Sicily, a place where the circus was and still is not very well known. I developed my juggling style by blending movement, acrobatics, and contact with clubs. Many workshops and festivals I participated in allowed me to refine my technique.

But I always had a thirst for learning more, and Palermo had become too small for me. So I decided to embark on a journey within circus schools. At the age of 19, I left for Turin where I joined the preparatory circus school “FLIC” which introduced me to balancing and the ladder. I really liked balancing because this discipline required a certain type of concentration that I had never managed to achieve in my daily life. Additionally, the fear of falling combined with the desire to succeed created a unique sensation in my head. One of my dreams was to join the ESAC circus school and, at 22, immediately after the Turin school, I succeeded in passing the selection. It was there that I further perfected my techniques, specializing primarily in acrobatic ladder and secondarily in the Cyr wheel. I completed the Higher School of Circus Arts (ESAC) in 2011, obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Performing arts and Broadcasting and Communication techniques .

Following the attainment of my diploma in 2011 and completing five years of circus school (two years at FLIC and three years at ESAC), I performed hundreds of shows throughout Europe and America. I also participated in many collectives of various types, some focused on the circus, others on a more theatrical or musical approach. And also some tv shows. I have mastered various techniques, but my specialties are the Cyr wheel and acrobatic ladder with which I present different acts. I enjoy blending dance and improvisation with my circus techniques, as it allows me to develop a broad physical vocabulary. In 2016, I began to explore a new discipline that is not commonly used in the circus: acrobatics with a monowheel.

In 2018, I became a co-founder of the first Italian EUC school. I create new performances, successfully integrating it even in unusual scenic contexts for such equipment, and I even managed to break a Guinness World Record in 2020!
