SOLEYMAN PIERINI

About Me

Soleyman Pierini is an Italian and Canadian actor, magician, and contemporary circus performer. He began his acting career in Hollywood production The Walk (2015) by Robert Zemeckis, and more recently played the male lead in Catching The Light (2024/25). He has performed with circus companies in Colorado and Eastern USA from 2018 to 2021. Soleyman also designs and performs impossible close-up magic routines and stage acts. Following his casting in the feature film Dancing Beyond (in production), dance became one of his focal disciplines, which he combines with juggling to create visually stunning, poetic acts.

Soleyman began his training at the École Nationale de Cirque de Montréal. He went on to study various disciplines with renowned artists, such as mime with Mario Diamond, wire walking with Philippe Petit and Jade Kindar-Martin, magic with Peter Snow and Philippe Petit, and juggling, acrobatics, clowning, and physical comedy with various artists from Cirque du Soleil and The 7 Fingers. His foremost work is with magic, juggling, dance, and film acting.

Soleyman is always eager to amaze, inspire, move, and delight audiences on screen and live. He believes in his artistic mission of creating and contributing to meaningful productions and strives to create art that nourishes our lives and the world.
