RIGGER · MODEL · TEACHER

Czech / Prague-scene rigger, model, teacher and performer working publicly as Sansei, usually with Soptik / Peter Soptik. Prague Shibari Festival's 2024 and 2026 presenter pages and the Soptik & Sansei official site describe a practice centered on traditional kinbaku, Kinbaku LuXuria, deep surrender and darker semenawa emotions. The same sources state that Sansei has been doing rope since 2017, studying with Soptik since 2019 and studying Kinbaku LuXuria with Riccardo Wildties and Red Sabbath since 2022; the 2026 Prague page says Soptik and Sansei are certified in that style up to level 1. Knot Here Amsterdam and Shibari Valencia Fest provide additional 2025-2026 public performance / educator traces.
