RIGGER · MODEL · PERFORMER

German rope switch, rigger, model and performer publicly using the name Happa, with Happa Von Kruemel / HaPPa von Kruemel retained as older social-media forms. A 2026 direct public-safe follow-up says Happa started in rope in 2014 through photo projects, helped at Stuttgart's Ropejam Kizuna around 2018-2020, worked as a workshop model, learned self-tying via Q-Shibari, tied with Umino / Dragonropes from 2020 to 2023 and turned toward rigging at the end of 2021 after RopeKnight workshops. Public corroboration now includes Happa's KunstWerk feature in Schlagzeilen SZ 198 (2023), a 2026 obscene stage slot with LucyLaCat, a Yugen SM N14 shooting credit and the Onawa Asobi Europe 2026 lineup. Kinbakuwiki's Harukumo entry lists Happa von Kruemel among Harukumo's public learners since 2024.
