The first theme park in Russia, created for the 2014 Winter Olympics, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Artists from Azerbaijan, Argentina, Belarus, Moldova, Russia, Ethiopia, Italy, Hungary, France and Mongolia are performing in the new circus program.
"We made a joint decision that 10 outstanding circus countries, 10 outstanding circuses of the world should perform on our 10th anniversary. 32 artists are taking part in the program. It was a difficult choice in the sense that we had to choose the best artists, representatives of the country, and at the same time, so that they were different genres," said the general producer of the show, Honored Artist of Russia Murad Abdullaev.
So, artists from Belarus demonstrate an extreme number on the verge of human capabilities "Wheel of Death", Italy presents "Equilibrium", Azerbaijan shows the forgotten art of quick dressing in the number "Transformation", jugglers came from Argentina, an acrobat on a pole with dangerous breaks from Hungary, aerial gymnasts from one of the oldest circuses in the country d'Yver Buglione from France. A unique number "Ikar's Games", when one of the artists lies down and throws the other with his legs, was shown by representatives of Ethiopia. Moldovans demonstrated the rare art of acrobats on perches. Artists from Mongolia brought a unique number, in which acrobats-voltigeurs perform on huge balls.
"Usually voltigeurs work on the carpet. But in our number we use balls, each weighing 150 kilograms and 120 centimeters in diameter. Acrobatics is a very difficult type, and performing on balls is even more dangerous and difficult. This number has not been repeated by anyone in the world for more than six years, for which we regularly receive awards at circus festivals in different countries of the world," said the president of the Mongolian Circus Development Center Erden Negruy.
Russia is represented in an unusual program by clownery from one of the best masters of this circus art Nikulin on Tsvetnoy Boulevard Dmitry Shindorov. The unusual circus show in "Sochi Park" will be held almost daily at 13:00 and 16:00 until September 1. The duration of the program is 1 hour 15 minutes.
