Noah Schiltknecht is a Swiss contemporary juggler and performer. Born in Ghana and raised in the Swiss mountains, he discovered juggling at age 12 and has since built a career spanning performance, teaching, and technology. He graduated from the Academy of Circus and Performance Art (ACAPA) in Tilburg in 2019.

As a performer, Noah has worked with Cie. Critical-Mess (dir. Stefan Sing) on productions including Dodai and Superorganism, Kompani Giraff (Moln, Giraffens ABC), KNOT Kollektiv, and Alienated Performance Art. He performs at festivals across Europe including EJC, Tollwood, Atoll Karlsruhe, and Tête-à-Tête.

His signature project, Amble Fusion, features custom-built juggling balls equipped with sensors that create music in real time — merging juggling, technology, and sound into a new form of audiovisual performance. The project has received residencies at Maison des Jonglages (Paris), Dynamo (Odense), and Maison du Cirque (Bourg-en-Bresse).

Alongside performing, Noah has taught circus arts to children and adults for over 15 years, including as co-owner of Zirkus Zirkusa and camp leader at Zirkus Mugg.
