About Rodrigo

Six generations in the ring.

Born into an Argentine circus family while they were performing in Brazil. He first stepped into the ring at four years old as a clown alongside his father, began aerial straps at eleven, and made his professional debut at twelve with Circus Royale in Australia.

He now specialises in one of the circus world's most demanding disciplines — the Double Wheel.

Full biography

The apparatus

Two wheels, one revolving arm. The Double Wheel — also called the Wheel of Death — swings a full circle on its central pivot.

Inside and outside. He performs within the wheel and standing on its outer surface as it turns.

Recognised. His forward somersault on the outside earned recognition at Argentina's Argentony festival.

The only artist to land the somersault on the outside of the wheel in Argentina.
