Press Release n° 19 – Tuesday September 13th 2011
The Countdown starts: - 30 days to the start of the 13th edition of the International Circus Festival “City of Latina”
With only a month to go until the curtain goes up at the opening evening on the 13th of October, the suspense increases whilst we await the latest news about this edition.
The important task of providing fun and laughs to the Festival’s audiences is down to Equivokee. These three Ukrainian performers studied at the Circus Academy at Kiev. They appear throughout the performances with their comical incursions, encouraging the audience to take an active part in their comical activities. The group’s leader is Oleksandr Bilogub, who has been active for many years in training young clowns in Eastern Europe, as well as creating comical pantomimes.
“Secret of my Soul” is the title of the aerial circle performance by duo Marina & Grigorov. These two young performers come from the Ukraine and are presenting an acrobatic number created for them by Marya Remneva. The various movements in their exhibition, despite their very difficult nature, are executed without safety wires. “Secret of my Soul” seeks to emotionally involve the spectator by evoking memories of romantic moments in their life.
Pauliina is a young performer from Finland: she trained at the National Circus School on Montreal, where she also created her trapeze number. Ten years have gone by since her début in the circus ring: during this period she has worked on perfecting a performance which combines her technical skills with her innate elegance and grace. In her number, entitled “Faraway”, Pauliina invites the audience to share the impression of a carefree sense of liberty.
Manuel Farina comes from a Circus family dating back many generations: as a child he learnt the basics of a number of different Circus disciplines, and has worked in the ring with horses, the unicycle and the trapeze. Three years ago Manuel decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, animal trainer Fabrice Farina, and started to create numbers with big cats. The number he is bringing to Latina’s Circus ring has a tiger, three lions, and two lionesses: a classic in the tradition of the circus, typified here by the easy familiarity with which Manual interacts with his feline companions, a result of training using the positive reinforcement method.
