Born in Switzerland, Stefan grew up in a tropical jungle. He first learned to juggle at the age of 13 on the streets of a peaceful country. From an early age, he showed a keen interest in the mysteries he discovered in the workings, forms, and forces of nature. He takes pleasure in playing with these laws.
After a two-year detour devoted mainly to sculpture, he began to miss direct contact with an audience. His first “performances” took place on the streets, improvising with jugglers, acrobats, and musicians. Drawn to Celtic music, Stefan then made his debut on the accordion and took his first steps on stage with the Celtic and folk music group “Istalindar” in Costa Rica.
After collaborating with several circus troupes in Central America, he embarked on a more solitary journey.
His passion for object manipulation led him to Europe, where he sought training to refine his artistic expression. Traveling through Great Britain, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and France, he found the perfect balance between manipulation, dance, and acrobatics in the discipline of the Cyr wheel at the Flic school in Turin, Italy.
He continued his training at the CNAC, where he developed a personal artistic exploration combining object manipulation, dance, and the Cyr wheel. Together with Juan Ignacio Tula, an Argentine student from his class at the CNAC, Stefan embarked on an original project centered on a trio in which the third partner is none other than a Cyr wheel.
