Acrobat in Switzerland: five acts, performed in Zurich, Basel and Laax

• Cyr Wheel: acrobatics inside a large metal ring, performed in the finale of “Pink Rabbit” in Zurich.
• LED Cyr Wheel: the wheel with programmed light, synchronised to the music, performed at a corporate event in Laax and this winter in Basel.
• The Flying Gentleman: aerial acrobatics with humour on a flying hat stand, performed at “Pink Rabbit”, at “Ohh! Lala! Chérie!” and this winter in Basel.
• Aerial straps: powerful aerial acrobatics on two straps, performed as the opening of “Pink Rabbit”.
• Whips act: rhythm and cracks on the beat, performed at “Ohh! Lala! Chérie!” in Zurich.

All five can be booked on their own or combined in one evening, as at “Pink Rabbit”, where I performed three of them in one show.

In autumn 2024 AURA in Zurich became the stage for the TAO Group dinner show “Pink Rabbit”. The whole room was part of the show: a 360-degree projection with elaborately produced content ran across the walls, and the guests sat in the middle of the picture. Three and a half hours of circus, choreography and immersive theatre, and after the finale the show turned into a club.

I had three appearances that evening. I opened the show with aerial straps, came back later as The Flying Gentleman with the flying hat stand and performed the finale with the Cyr Wheel on the round stage in the middle of the room. More in the post “Pink Rabbit” in Zurich.

In November 2025 I was a guest at the cabaret night “Ohh! Lala! Chérie!” at Plaza Kosmos with The Flying Gentleman and the whips act. It was the friendliest and most supportive audience I could wish for.

The stage was small and the whips cracked very close to the front row. At the first crack the audience flinched, and a small, surprised scream came from the room. That is exactly what the act is made for: rhythm, cracks on the beat and, at the end, the olive flying out of the martini glass. Then The Flying Gentleman took off with the hat stand.

In 2026 I performed twice with the LED Cyr Wheel at a corporate event in Laax. We went up to the venue by gondola, which was already a highlight of the event.

The light programme is stored in the wheel in advance and runs in sync with the music. The client explicitly asked for their colours only and no logo, so the wheel glowed in the company colours. Both are possible: colours, a logo or a free light design. More about the act on the LED Cyr Wheel page.

From 19 November 2026 to 10 January 2027 the LED Cyr Wheel and The Flying Gentleman can be seen in the new Starlight Show at the Rhypark dinner show in Basel, with a strong cast. Both acts are performed by my second cast Yura Kharchenko in his own interpretation. At the same time I am on stage with The Flying Gentleman at the Hansa Theater in Hamburg.

How an act is prepared for two places at once is described in the post Hamburg and Basel.

• Corporate event and brand presentation: the most requested act for Swiss corporate events is the LED Cyr Wheel, with company colours or a logo in the light programme. More on the page show act for corporate events.
• Gala and award ceremony: the LED Cyr Wheel as a glowing highlight, The Flying Gentleman as the opening.
• Dinner show, variety and cabaret: The Flying Gentleman, the Cyr Wheel and the whips act.
• Aerial acrobatics in halls, foyers and industrial venues: aerial straps or The Flying Gentleman.

• Cyr Wheel and LED Cyr Wheel: 3 m round stage or 3 × 3 m, 50 cm safety distance, larger welcome. Level, firm floor, for the LED Cyr Wheel dusk or darkness. 3 to 5 minutes.
• The Flying Gentleman: rigging point from 3 m height, ideally from 4.5 m, 250 kg load capacity. Without a ceiling point a freestanding rig is possible. 3 to 6 minutes.
• Aerial straps: rigging point from 5 m, 250 kg load capacity, a freestanding rig is possible here too. 3 to 5 minutes.
• Whips act: 5 × 5 m area, 3.5 m height, distance to the audience. 4 minutes.
