Press Release n° 13 – Wednesday July 6th, 2011
The International Circus Festival adds two more acts today, reaching a total of 13 officially confirmed numbers
The participation of the United States of America and also that of Vietnam at the thirteenth edition of the International Circus Festival “City of Latina” has been confirmed
Today two numbers, coming respectively from North America and South-East Asia, join the cast of the Festival: this Circus event confirms its importance as an occasion that provides valuable opportunities for encounters between different cultures and different expressions of circus performance.
The Duo Rose is an artistic partnership between twenty-year-old Sylvia Rose and twenty-two-year-old Samuel Johnson. Following separate paths that saw both Sylvia and Samuel train in gymnastics and circus disciplines, the two young performers started to work together three years ago, sharing their respective backgrounds to create a striking and spectacular “trapeze” number. The result is “Rose Petals”, an aerial dance in which the elegance of the costumes and the graceful movements of the artists merge seamlessly with the intrinsic technical difficulty of this very expressive performance.
The Giang Quoc Brothers are two Vietnamese siblings of 22 and 26 years of age. After studying circus arts in their home city of Saigon, at the Ho Chi Minh Circus School, the Giang Quoc brothers pursued their artistic careers in Vietnam. At the Festival of Latina they present a “hand to hand” number. This circus discipline, among all the circus disciplines, demonstrates acrobatics in pairs, and is characterized by physical strength, elegance and coordination. The Vietnamese duo’s performance includes a spectacular “head-to-head” balance.
