Hi, I´m Abraham!
I am a professional street and circus performer, working in this field since 1999.
I studied acting in Vienna, graduating in 2006.
Since then, I have continued to act and direct during the winter seasons, while dedicating the rest of the year to the unique world of New Circus.
After nine years of independently busking around the globe, I began, in 2008, to work more often as a contracted performer at various events, such as international circus festivals.
I was born in 1980 in Vienna, Austria. I discovered the world of international street performing in 1999, and since then it has shaped my life.
People often ask me, “What’s the main reason for doing what you do?” or “How did you come to this lifestyle?”
-My answer is quite simple: It just happened. From my very first street performance, I fell in love with every aspect involved—the spontaneity, the closeness to the audience, the unpredictability of public spaces, the freedom, the travel, the playful lifestyle… simply doing what I love most and even getting paid for it. As long as this continues, I see no reason to stop.

...and my show, Diabolissimo
It's not easy to put the show into words, as terms like “Diabolo Show” or “Comedy Juggling Show” only scratch the surface of what it truly is.
It's an energy-packed street performance lasting anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, featuring clowning, pantomime, comedy, manipulation of objects and subjects, improvisation, and even a touch of magic.
And, last but certainly not least, it showcases extraordinary and mind-blowing diabolo skills, including extremely high tosses of up to 35 meters and multiple diabolo juggling.
The blend of all these elements, combined with the performer’s distinctive and highly infectious energy, transforms the show into what we call a “Diabolirium.” It captivates audiences of all ages and serves as a crowd-puller wherever it takes place, being an internationally awarded street performance.
Two standout moments are the "Moment of Silence," where the performer becomes a fountain statue with a diabolo spinning on his fingers, all while a ball spins on the tip of one of the diabolo sticks, and "The Shot into the Universe," where the diabolo literally vanishes before the audience's astonished eyes. These moments help create the unique, indescribable ambiance of the act.

The highly spectacular and truely unique finale, which is not performed by any other street- or circus- performer worldwide is a whip-catch
(one-handed catch, using the string of the sticks, like a whip) of a small Diabolo, from maximum height (35-40 meters).
This finale can only be performed under relatively calm wind conditions.
