Biography

Neptune Unicycle, headed by Neptune Chapotin, is a professional fire artist, juggler, stunt man and unicyclist based out of the capital city of Goa, Panaji. He developed an interest for unicycling at the age of nine, at a circus and performing arts summer camp named Camp Winnarainbow, in California. His passion gradually turned into his profession, and now he performs in India and abroad for the last 10 years. His shows have brought the act of unicycling from being a mere part of a circus to a full-fledged performance. With a precision of balance and control as a testimony to 20 years of experience, he presents unicycling as a primary art form in itself. His unicycling shows include rocking, flowing, spinning, hopping, flying and dancing along with tricks, stunts and freestyle. Neptune also does juggling of balls, spinning staff or poi, twirling a gymnast's ribbon, jumping with a skipping rope, and playing the mouth harp – all during unicycling. His juggling goes the next level when he introduces fire acts to it. He even puts his cycle wheel on fire to ride a flaming unicycle. He also rides all around the venue while being dressed up like a waiter.
