A viciously charming juggler with sticks
Ofelia Grey
I am a variety circus performer, specializing in high skill juggling one, two, three and...oh, four! 1 meter long shiny golden sticks, with a passion for cabaret so that the curious and bohemian audience with love for 19th century aesthetics and cabaret can enjoy an outstanding fusion of high skill juggling performance, thought-through visual aesthetics, beautiful music and heart-snatching charisma with whimsical undertones.
“Ofelia Grey has mastered the virtuoso art of stick juggling, opening up unique worlds with her strong expression.”

This is a wonderful homage to the quirky and nosthalgic dream of a circus of the century past . Cast filled with amazingly talented and unique performers from all over the world, incredible visual aesthetics and orginal ideas by the director Urs Jaeckle are sure to leave you feeling inspired and uplifted, ready to accept the oddities of life with an open heart.
"Surreal, unreal, fantastic is the performance that the 27-year-old artist Ofelia Grey completes alone."

Cafe de Profundis
A surreal portrait of a circus artist
A darkly funny and bizzare one woman circus play Cafe de Profundis is a fusion of poetic storytelling, puppetry, juggling, dance, clown, pantomime and many other circus elements. In this 60 min long piece, the imagined world from the depths of the psyche pushes it's way into the real world.

What they say about me:
"Ofelia is a very nice person to work with. Ofelia's act is beautiful, highly aesthetic and it is very enjoyable to not only see the skills Ofelia offers, but also to experience her expressive as well as enchanting stage character and personality.
Moreover, Ofelia is a very kind person, highly professional and reliable.
Last but not least, Ofelia speaks remarkably well English. Communication always goes very well and she's a teamplayer."

"Each time I have worked with Ofelia, she has taken her work seriously - she is punctual, tenatious, caring and interested. This attitude energised others in the team, including myself. I recommend working with her. "
Tristan Ashley
filmmaker
"Ofelia grey is an artist that takes strange as a compliment. She embodies it in the most graceful and marvellous way you might ever see. Trust me, her gracing your stage is an unforgettable experience you will even tell your grandchildren about."
