ABOUT ROCCO

Two key sparks ignited Silent Rocco’s journey: performing as a robot in his older brother’s breakdance group from around age 5, and watching Canadian mime Michel Courtemanche’s brilliant sketches on German prime-time TV in the 90s. Inspired, Rocco created his first short mime act at 14 for a school talent show - and won. The path was set.

Mostly self-taught, he eventually studied mime professionally at Die Etage in Berlin and through masterclasses at Berlin’s Mimecentrum.

As a solo artist and in various ensembles, he has performed at countless theatre and mime festivals worldwide, including Mimame in Colombia, Silent Theatre Festival in Thailand, Festival PAN in Slovakia, and the International Clown Mime Festival in Korea.

In recent years, Rocco has established his mime as a key element of modern variety shows in Germany, positioning this art form alongside traditional circus disciplines in long-running stage productions.

He successfully performed on various TV shows like Das Supertalent in Germany, iUmor Romania, and Italia’s Got Talent. Additionally, his mime shorts have reached millions on social media.

Silent Rocco is currently touring with his first solo show, Untold Stories, and preparing a mixed circus show, where he serves as the nonverbal host, for a series of variety theatre performances in Germany starting in 2027.

His guiding mantra throughout his artistic journey: LESS TALK MORE FEELS
