ANDREIS JACOBS

Among SANDDORN BALANCE performers, Andreis Jacobs Rigolo stands out for his unparalleled dedication. His exotic masculinity effortlessly intertwines with the 13 palm leaf panicles. In 2003, Andreis married Lara Rigolo, becoming an indispensable member of the closely-knit Rigolo family circle ever since. He successfully showcased the SANDDORN BALANCE, among other acts, at the Circus Roncalli and as part of the Australian-American Spiegelworld program "Empire," performed on a small three-meter circular stage. Enchantingly, his mobile, crowned with a feather, circled above the heads of the audience and he received a well-deserved standing ovation each day. In the same show, Andreis captivated the audience with his performance of the spinning top on driftwood – another Rigolo creation by Mädir Eugster.

Mädir Eugster: “Andreis was a unique student. Unlike others who came from a background in dance or artistry, he hailed from the world of sports as a basketball player from New York. Through his aptitude for learning and diligent efforts, he bridged the gap. Perhaps, this is precisely why his interpretation of the SANDDORN BALANCE is so authentic. He doesn't perform the act like an actor.”
