David Dimitri is an internationally acclaimed tightrope acrobat who has been praised for his unique style.[1]
Combining an education at the State Academy for Circus Arts in Budapest with intensive dance studies at New York’s renowned Juilliard School, David Dimitri has created virtuoso wire dances celebrated at circuses, arts festivals, and concert halls throughout the world – Canada’s Cirque du Soleil, New York’s Big Apple Circus,[2][3] the Swiss National Circus ("Circus Knie"), and the Metropolitan Opera under the direction of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle.
In 2001, Dimitri’s performing career took on an added dimension. With the assistance of his father, the famed Dimitri (clown), he created the one-man-show “L’Homme Cirque,” a presentation of Nouveau Cirque arts performed in a touring circus tent designed and built for the production.
David Dimitri has been a guest artist at such prominent festivals as Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, South Carolina; Lincoln Center Festival New York; Just pour Rire, Jeux de Piste, Strasbourg, and the Avignon Festival. He christened the new Commerzbank-Arena[4] in Frankfurt, with a crossing in 2005.
