acrobat / circus performer
A person who professionally performs physically very demanding and skillful tricks, especially in the circus, in variety theater, or as a street performer.
Der Artist im Zirkus zeigte eine atemberaubende Nummer am Trapez.
The acrobat in the circus performed a breathtaking act on the trapeze.
Careful: 'Der Artist' is not the same as the English word 'artist.' A German 'Artist' is an acrobat, juggler, or trapeze artist. A painter or musician is 'der Künstler' in German.
Die Artisten zeigten eine spektakuläre Show im Zirkus.
The circus performers put on a spectacular show in the circus.
The word 'Artist' is used almost exclusively for people who perform physically demanding tricks. The typical context is the circus, variety theater, or street performance.
Der junge Artist balancierte auf einem Seil hoch über dem Publikum.
The young acrobat balanced on a rope high above the audience.
The word family includes the adjective 'artistisch' (acrobatic, skillful) and the noun 'die Artistik' (the art form practiced by acrobats and circus performers).
Ihre artistische Darbietung am Trapez war atemberaubend.
Her acrobatic performance on the trapeze was breathtaking.
artist
A „Künstler“ creates or presents art in general, while an „Artist“ specifically performs physically demanding feats. At a circus or variety show, both words can be used, but „Artist“ makes the specific activity clearer. „Künstler“ is suitable when the artistic role is meant more generally.
Der Artist zeigte bei der Zirkusshow mehrere schwierige Kunststücke.
The acrobat performed several difficult feats at the circus show.
Der Künstler unterhielt das Publikum bei der Zirkusshow mit einer kreativen Vorstellung.
The artist entertained the audience at the circus show with a creative performance.
