Allegra Rizzo

About

Suspended between razor-sharp precision and wild, uncontrolled grace, Allegra Rizzo transforms aerial performance into a dangerous meditation—each silk-threaded movement a calculated rebellion against gravity's mundane rules. Her body speaks a language of controlled chaos, where every twist threatens to become either exquisite art or spectacular failure.

Backstory

Three deaths shaped Allegra Rizzo before her fifteenth birthday—her twin sister fell from their apartment balcony while practicing handstands, her circus performer grandmother choked on her own blood after a trapeze accident, and her father's heart simply stopped the day he watched Allegra's first aerial performance. The stolen silk that launched her career wasn't taken from any market vendor, but carefully cut from her sister's funeral shroud in a moment of grief-driven desperation. She discovered that defying gravity felt like defying death itself, each performance a conversation with the ghosts who taught her that beauty and terror were inseparable. Now she dances on silk ribbons with the fluid grace of someone who has already lost everything that mattered, performing for international audiences who sense but cannot name the darkness that makes her art so hypnotically beautiful.
