An Amazing Experience

A striking, participatory show full of humour, emotion and feats that defy the impossible — resilience, danger and the magic of fakirism leave audiences breathless. Theatre or street · 1 hour.

Why Fakir?

A theatrical piece weaving the real history of the great fakirs with the artist's personal path, with archive footage and documentary video. Theatre · 1 hour.

Tattoo conventions & Halloween — Sharp Life & Freak on Risk

Special shows for tattoo conventions, Halloween and night events: the most intense acts —swords, fire, power drill, a steel spring through the nose, the butane bottle hanging from his eyes— with extra edge and a touch of dark humour, yet always suitable for family audiences. Length adaptable to the event.

Galas, great feats & TV

Camera-ready acts from 2 to 8 minutes: car pull with a machete at the neck, sword swallowing, bed of nails, fire… Experience on 20+ international TV shows.

A regular act at magic festivals, circus festivals, theatres, family programming, fire shows, cabaret and television. Fakirism is a sister art to illusionism and a child of the circus: if you are looking for a different magic, circus, theatre, fire or comedy show for your festival, event or TV programme — this is something else, and it works.

For children? — Children enjoy this show the most: the real risk of every technique is explained clearly and with humour. Hundreds of street performances around the world have grown alongside their smiles.
