ESSEN, GERMANY: Aleksandr Batuev is a contortionist who appears on Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent'. Aleksandr is from Essen, Germany.

He auditioned for the tenth season of 'Romanii Au Talent' in 2021. He auditioned for Season 13 of 'Romanii Au Talent' in 2024.



 

On the show, he performed his big piece, Future Man, in which he predicted that humans would be able to accomplish such things in the future, and he arrived with a time machine to demonstrate what they would be able to do then. He enjoys being on stage and giving his energy, and he believes that energy returns.

He believes it is critical to put on a nice performance, and you may contribute significantly based on the energy provided.

Jurors were amazed by Aleksandr's number. Beyond the amount of contortion seen in talent programs, the judges saw something else.

There was elegance from beginning to end. The judges said he might be an excellent ballerina.

He was fantastic! They felt that he was a phenomenon from head to toe.

After stunning the judges with his moves on 'Romanii Au Talent', Aleksandrv is looking forward to a banging debut on 'AGT' as well. If he wins the top prize at 'AGT', he plans to make a vegan restaurant with a contortionist workshop.

'AGT' Season 19 star Aleksandr Batuev gave up engineering to become a contortionist

Aleksandr launched a program to show others how to get there. He improved with time, and after two years, he decided to enter a competition, winning the big prize.

And from there, Aleksandrv recognized that this was what he wanted to pursue in the future, rather than continuing in engineering, which he had graduated from. He became an artist and began to make more and more connections.

Aleksandr has performed abroad, notably at the Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Aleksandr soon became a circus performer with Circus Krone, located in Munich. He also played at Lío Ibiza, Illes Balears, Spain.

Aleksandr also worked at GOP Variété Essen. He then proceeded to France to perform at the Grande Fête Lilloise du Cirque. He was also a circus performer in the Weltweihnachtscircus.

Aleksandr works for Billionaire Dubai in Dubai.

He is currently a circus performer at the International Circus Festival of Monaco and Circus Knie in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland. In addition, he works as an artist at Crazy Palace - Die Dinnershow in Karlsruhe.

'AGT' Season 19 star Aleksandr Batuev dreamt of becoming a Hollywood stuntman

Tragic accident turned 'AGT' Season 19 star Aleksandr Batuev's life around

Everything was OK until the day he damaged his knee. After that, he could no longer work as a stuntman.

This was the stage at which he began to experiment with contortionism. He never expected that he would become a professional contortionist.

He was only seeking new ways to use his body after the accident, as he could no longer leap or run. His greatest ambition is to appear in a Hollywood film as a yoga teacher.
