ABOUT ME
I am a Creative and Artistic Director with over twenty years of experience in the international performing arts industry. I began my career as an acrobatic performer, later developing a passion for writing and staging shows for theaters, events, and ceremonies. This journey allowed me to cultivate not only my creative side but also a deep technical and production knowledge.
I oversee the creation of high-profile events with the BlueX collective, specializing in multidisciplinary projects that merge performing arts and innovative technologies. Additionally, I am an expert in the provision and use of the swaypole, an innovative scenic apparatus that combines acrobatics and stage design to deliver spectacular and engaging performances.
I have written and directed all the shows of the acrobatic company Sonics, bringing internationally acclaimed theatrical performances to life, with a strong focus on creativity and stage quality.
This extensive experience enables me to deliver unique and impactful projects, combining artistic vision with technical expertise.

MY PROJECTS
BLUE X
BLUE X
The BlueX Project is an initiative conceived and developed by Alessandro Pietrolini. It is a collective of artists and technicians spanning every discipline, from singing and dancing to circus arts and automation. This ambitious project is managed by Pietrolini, both artistically and in terms of production, and was created to become a key support for international players in the realization of large-scale events.
Years of experience and established connections allow clients to benefit from a very short supply chain between Creative Direction and suppliers, improving the quality of work and significantly reducing communication steps. This makes BlueX a valuable partner for large-scale projects.
SWAYPOLE
In 2020, his experience in acrobatic arts led him to invest in a highly spectacular stage apparatus: the Swaypole. This quickly made him an international reference point, offering not only top-level performances but also consultancy services for major entertainment players such as **Feld Entertainment** and the **COD in Macau**.
Currently, his stage equipment has traveled to over 25% of the countries worldwide, with demand steadily increasing.
SWAYPOLE
Since 2001, first as a performer and later as an Artistic and Creative Director, he has conceived and staged over 1,000 shows with the Sonics company. He has created 7 theatrical productions that have toured worldwide and 3 outdoor shows of undeniable international success.
