Frequently Asked Questions

How does a booking work?

Once your enquiry is received, the technical requirements and availability for your preferred date are checked and, if free, held without obligation. This is followed by an individual offer with transparent pricing, then confirmation of travel, technical details and rehearsal time, and finally a contract signed by both parties.

Is the artist insured?

Yes, all performances are covered by professional liability insurance (PLI).

How much does it cost to book an acrobat for a corporate event?

The best way is to enquire directly and take a look at the portfolio. Costs are in the four-figure range. The main factors are travel, the number of performances and technical requirements. Send me the date, location and event format and you will receive a concrete quote promptly, including advice on choosing the right act.

How far in advance should a booking be made?

A booking can be made at any time. The earlier the enquiry, the higher the likelihood that your preferred date is still available.

How far do you travel for events?

Internationally, on every continent — with performances for Cirque du Soleil, at the Sydney Opera House, in Cannes and in Singapore. Whether an event takes place in Berlin, elsewhere in Germany, or abroad makes no difference to the booking.

What are the technical requirements for this act?

A rigging point at least 5 metres high, with a working load of 250 kg. There should be nothing obstructing a 2-metre radius around the point. Rigging equipment and a rigger can be brought along if needed.

How is the rigging point checked and secured?

The rigging point must be structurally certified for the relevant load. I usually clarify this in advance directly with your technical team or the rigger on site, so that everything runs smoothly on the day of the event.

How long do set-up and the technical check take?

Usually around 30-60 minutes, including a rigging check and a brief music and lighting run-through with the technical team on site.

Does the act require a motor?

A motor is helpful but not required. A hand-operated pulley system is entirely sufficient for the act. Rigging equipment and a rigger can also be brought along if needed.

We have less than 5 metres of height — is that a problem?

It may still be possible — best to enquire directly and figure out together what can be arranged.

We don't have a rigging point on site — is that still workable?

Yes, in that case a freestanding rig is brought along and set up, so the act can still be performed without a fixed hanging point.

Is the act possible outdoors?

Yes, a freestanding rig can be brought along for this, independent of a fixed rigging point.
