Biography
Simon began performing at 12 as a musician and musical artist. He graduated from Cirkus Cirkör’s upper secondary school in 2016 and earned his bachelor’s degree from Codarts Circus Arts in 2022.
He has performed, created, and taught across Sweden, France, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. His works have been staged at venues and festivals such as Theater Rotterdam, Schuur, Lowlands Festival, Amare, Circusstad Festival, and Årsta Teater.
In 2025, Simon directed Ukemi: The Art of Falling, an interdisciplinary performance that combined circus and parkour.
When he’s not creating or teaching, Simon fully embraces his nerdy side—he has read the manga One Piece three times, climbed to rank 4500 in League of Legends, and reads fantasy books daily.
