ARTIST: ALEXANDER WEIBEL WEIBEL

SHOW TITLE: ALEXANDER WEIBEL WEIBEL

Tired of normal life, Alex decided to quit his studies in engineering and at the age of 21 start the circus school in Madrid. He then continued his formation in the National circus school of Moscow and in 2010 graduated from DOCH (The university college of dance and circus in Stockholm).

His battle against injuries but love for this art have lead him to find new ways of thinking and creating and to develop his own style.

Over the years he has focused on the disciplines of hand to hand, unicycle, juggling and slack rope, parallel to a continuous musical formation that started over 20 years ago.

He has worked in theaters and circuses in Spain, Sweden, France, Germany, Greece and Russia and with companies like "les 7 doigts de la main" or "Salon Giraff". He has also participated in big festivals like the "32º Festival du cirque de demain" in Paris, the "IV Festival international de Albacete" in Spain, "Sol y Circo Festival" or the "Newcomers show" in Germany.

His love for technique but fear of doing what has already been done a thousand times in the past have guided him though a process of investigation resulting in act he now presents to the world.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

An innovative and unique routine in a discipline never before seen, combining a high dose of poetry, technique and musicality. Lost in a situation we can all relate to, tangled between thoughts and feelings. An act about taking decisions, overcoming and moving on. A routine that continues to thrill and amaze both adults and children.
