Press Release n° 16 – Friday August 26th 2011
The International Circus Festival adds three more acts today, reaching a total of 20 officially confirmed numbers
Today three numbers, coming respectively from Spain, Ukraine and Mexico: this Circus event confirms its importance as an occasion that provides valuable opportunities for encounters between different cultures and different expressions of circus performance.
Kevin Rossi is a descendant of 5 generations of performers from an Italian-Spanish circus Family. Just 19, Kevin is already a talented tightrope walker: This young artist presents a classic circus discipline, enhanced by a series of acrobatic accents, including a forward somersault, one of the most difficult exercises to execute on the tightrope. Choreography, lighting, sound track and costumes frame this compelling performance.
Anastasia Nasridinova, 26, and Sergey Malyutin, 21, working under the stage name of Duo Ars, both have a solid training in gymnastics and acrobatic sports. They began their careers in the circus world with an aerial silks number, followed by the aerial straps number that they are presenting at Latina. The choreography, the skill of the performers, and the soundtrack, “Amore Cannibale” by Italian singer-songwriter Gianna Nannini, create a thrilling mood. SEE BELOW!
Rialcris are three Colombian performers who live in Mexico. ‘Hand to hand’ is one of the most representative disciplines of the circus arts in pairs. In the case of Rialcris, however, it is reinterpreted as a three-person number by artists Alejandro, Cristian and Ricardo. Vigour and muscular strength, combined with elegance and harmony, are the keywords that best describe the characteristics of a performance that comes across as effortless and easy.
