Two new numbers added to the International Circus Festival
Representatives from Russia and Hungary confirmed for the thirteenth edition of the International Circus Festival “City of Latina”.
The international Circus world is keen to know who will be participating in the thirteenth edition of the International Circus Festival “City of Latina”. The production office, following last year’s procedure, will be releasing the names of the selected participating artists on a week by week basis. Today we are pleased to announce the addition of two more numbers to the three already announced last week (Ballance with a hand to hand number, Anastasia with her Cloud Swing number and the Flying Martini acrobats). The new numbers are Hungarians Sick 7 Crew and Russian Yury Tikhonovich.
The Sick 7 Crew are five young Hungarian performers whose ages range from 23 to 32. Sick 7 Crew will be presenting a “break dance” number, a dance discipline born alongside the Hip Hop culture, which developed in the Afro-American community of the Bronx from 1968 onwards. The troupe, which was founded in 2007, has already earned accolades in dance competitions, but this is their first presence at a Circus Festival. Energy, coordination and balance are the key elements to a performance which, over and above the artistic side, promises to show aspects of a cultural style which has become, for some, a way of life.
The Young Russian artist Yury Tikhonovich will be performing a “verticalism” number called “Odissea”. Born in Siberia, Yuri began his studies in sport and gymnastics, later entering the world of the Circus in a trapeze troupe. In “Odissea”, the wind, a sail and the colours of the sea frame an elegant performance in which Yuri Tikhonovich evokes the gestures of a traveller: a situation that displays his desire to escape, to learn, and to challenge the unknown. Some parts of the performance have already earnt the Russian artist a Guinness World Record for “vertical push-ups on one arm”.
