Roman Škadra (b. 1985) is a Slovak juggler and maker currently based in Berlin. His work challenges conventional notions of circus, operating at the intersection of different art forms and adapting to a wide range of performance contexts. Central to Roman’s artistic approach is the exploration of the absurd, with performances characterized by intense physical engagement.
In his second solo work, GIREVIK (premiere: 2024, Festival Cirkopolis, Prague), he continues to investigate the relationship between body and object, questioning the aesthetic impact of physical effort. His latest creation, IM BAU (premiere: 2026, Fira Tàrrega), has been selected and co-produced by IN SITU – European Platform for Artistic Creation in Public Space. From 2025, he is an associate artist at the Centre for the Choreographic Development SE.S.TA in Prague.
