Girma

Girma Tsehai was born in Ethiopia; lives in Berlin and has been honing his craft since the early age of seven when he first started doing gymnastics. His blend of grace and edgy elegance attracted immediate attention, and he quickly made his mark by developing a unique style of Acro-Juggling—an intense rhythmic mix of gravity defying juggling set to music with heart-stopping acrobatics accenting every performance.

With his excellent and growing reputation plus his infectious personality, Girma was one of the first performers to be invited into the fresh and innovative performing group; BASE Berlin, founded by visionary director Markus Pabst.

The result has been a new style of juggling entirely of Girma’s own design that has taken him all over the world, with extensive seasons in New York, Australia, New Zealand, Las Vegas, Germany, France as well as featuring in some of the biggest corporate events in the UK such as the Daisy Ball.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Girma continues to tirelessly work on new ideas and tricks, incorporating his many layers of experience and novel improvisation—he is a joy to watch and a great deal more than your average showman.
