Filip Zahradnický is a Czech new-circus performer and juggler who trained at Prague's CIRQUEON centre and completed his degree at The Academy of Modern Circus in Copenhagen in 2018 - making him part of the first Czech generation to graduate in new circus at bachelor level. In 2020 he became the first Czech artist to compete at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris, winning two prizes: the Special Price Académie Fratellini and the jury's special award. He works with Cirk La Putyka and the Swedish company Kompani Giraff, and his solo show Collection of Sceptical Pleasures centres on object manipulation and movement.
Zahradnický advanced as a finalist to the European platform circusnext 2027 with his juggling project Nothing to see here.
The project Nothing to see here passed the circusnext pre-selection - the selection committee met on March 17, 2026.
Zahradnický described in an interview for Taneční aktuality his collaboration with Kompani Giraff and his approach to original creation.
For his performance in the production Thin Skin (together with Eliška Brtnická) Zahradnický received the Divadelních novin Award.
The premiere of the production Goldbergovy variace by the Swedish Kompani Giraff took place, in which Zahradnický performs alongside Clémence de Felice.
