Roxu

Roxu is a Spanish rigger.

Era: 2020s

RIGGER · TEACHER

Murcia-origin rigger, teacher and performer, now based in Berlin. Public IKSK, InFLUX and Danish Shibari Festival bios say he discovered shibari in 2016, traveled widely to study, co-founded Espacio Takibi in Murcia after finding few local rope opportunities, and organized jams, workshops and study groups there. His current teaching with Ena Dahl focuses on erotic tension, teasing, floorwork, partials and predicaments; the same bios describe his personal style as influenced by Aibunawa and Semenawa. EURIX XXVI / Spring 2025 lists Ena Dahl & Roxu as Berlin / Murcia presenters.

School: Independent

Associated venues, magazines, films and performances: IKSK Berlin, Danish Shibari Festival, EURIX 2020s.

Beta — structure and interface are public; data is still being expanded and corrected.

How to read it

Vertical position is time: the 1800s at the top, the 2020s at the bottom. Cards are coloured by school or lineage; lines between them carry the relationship type:

deshi — direct apprenticeship
influence — peer study, mentorship
thinner colours — venue, magazine, production
card colour = school / lineage

Click a card to open its bio, antecedents and descendants. Filters in the top bar narrow by era, entity type, or relationship.

Caveats

Inclusion is selective: a person or studio appears only when there's enough public evidence to anchor them meaningfully. Missing birth years are deliberate — many practitioners don't publicise them. Errors and gaps will exist; corrections welcome at pussynawa@proton.me.
