Bernát Csanády
Straps / Hungary /
He entered the world of circus as a licensed gymnast. Yet two moments made him feel truly connected to it. The first was watching the Cirque du Soleil show La Nouba. That was when he decided to become an artist. The second was when he heard that he wasn’t good enough.
“(…) I wanted to show that I am.”
He was born in Budapest. Once dreaming of becoming a train driver, instead of driving locomotives he has spent the last 10 years traveling the world with his straps act.
He describes his style as primarily dramatic. He experiments.
“The possibility of expressing emotions is the most important thing for me.”
He values minimalism and simplicity. He returns to the roots, building the stage in a way that focuses all attention on the straps.
Despite his circus career, he continues to support the gymnastics club where he once worked as a coach.
He drinks black coffee, loves traveling, and sings professionally in the shower.
