Aleksandar Savija
Performance Artist | Aerialist | Dancer | Contortionist
Based in Vienna, I am a multidisciplinary artist whose journey began in early childhood with professional training at the Vienna State Opera. With a background in classical dance and the pioneering distinction of being the first male rhythmic gymnast to perform at a professional level, I’ve built a global career blending strength, elegance, and innovation across circus, theater, and contemporary performance.
My artistic path has led me to collaborate with elite international companies such as Cirque du Soleil, Red Bull, BMW, Formula One, and Schwarzkopf. I specialize in aerial arts, particularly the flying pole and aerial hoop, creating high-impact acts for both large-scale productions and intimate events.
Signature Acts
The Targaryen – Flying Pole Act | “Dragon Flight”
“The Targaryen” is a powerful Flying Pole performance inspired by the mystique of dragon legends and the world of Game of Thrones. Set high above the ground, “Dragon Flight” combines aerial strength, dynamic movement, and cinematic storytelling in a visually striking solo act. This piece brings to life the spirit of a dragon rider — fierce, elegant, and untamed — through intense choreography and dramatic visuals.
Aerial Hoop: Black Swan
A bold reinterpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Black Swan, reimagined through male energy and circus aesthetics. This mesmerizing performance merges classical ballet influence with contemporary aerial movement, pulling the audience into a dreamlike world of strength, grace, and transformation.
