Two new acts added to the Festival
We are pleased to announce the addition of two solo artists: young American juggler Ty Tojo and Australian acrobat Julian Aldag.
Over 300 applications from performers have already arrived in the production office of the International Circus Festival "City of Latina": the twelfth edition of the Festival, which will take place in Latina from October 14th to October 18th 2010, going on the nationalities of the interested artists, already promises to be a truly multicultural event. The prestige of the artists that are being accepted for the competition is also growing year by year, as can be seen by the latest two acts to be signed up for the show.
Ty Tojo will be one of the youngest performers to have ever taken part in the Festival. Born in Las Vegas, USA and with a Japanese mother, this twelve-year-old artist will be presenting the number 'Outregeous Juggling'. Ty Tojo is currently honing his extraordinary artistic skills in an American school, where he alternates an hour's training with an hour of cartoons! In his four-year artistic career, Ty Tojo has already been awarded the title of 'Best Upcoming Juggler' in a USA juggling festival. Speed, versatility and skill are the main characteristics of the breathtaking number that this 'enfant prodige' will present at Latina.
Julian Aldag will be representing Australia at the International Circus Festival "City of Latina". This young acrobat will be celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday on the opening night of the Festival. His artistic skills are the result of ten years of gymnastic training. Julian is already a medal-winner, having gained a Bronze Medal at an International Circus Festival in Russia in 2009. The number he is presenting at Latina bears his own name, 'Julian Aldag': this is a vertical rope number in which the strength and energy of his movements contrast with the delicate sounds of the "duduk", a flute of Aremenian origin.
