Zurcaroh Finished AGT Season 13 in Second Place
Zurcaroh is an acrobatic group based in Götzis, Austria, and founded in 2009 by Brazilian choreographer Peterson da Cruz Hora. Before they competed on AGT, the group earned a Golden Buzzer on France’s Got Talent and made it to the Finals in 2017. The following year, AGT host Tyra Banks gave them a Golden Buzzer for their impressive audition.
The group’s theatrical performances throughout the competition featured vibrant themes such as Adam and Eve, Ancient Egypt, and the jungle. Despite their incredible talent and popularity, the group didn’t end up winning the show. Instead, they were named the Season 13 runners-up behind winning magician Shin Lim.
In the years since competing on AGT, the group has continued to perform around the world. In 2019, they participated in the Royal Variety Performance in London. According to their website, Zurcaroh has performed in 20 countries on five continents. They currently have over 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Earlier this month, Zurcaroh performed as an interval act during the Semi-Finals of the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. Their colorful and dynamic routine for the event was titled “Welcome to the Funfair.”
The group’s Eurovision performance featured gravity-defying acrobatic moves and aerial silks, earning cheers from the audience. The playful routine took a dark turn part of the way through, set to dramatic music.
