Relation between master & servent, or.....? / Andrey&Ruslan Fomenko

Body ranguage is one of the most attractive point among performing artists from abroad!
If we can't understand what they're saying, it's not sad.'Cause we can share a lots of emotions and
joyful moments through that mature expression & gesture from foreign artists.

Andrey & Ruslan can also make audience laugh with powerful gesture! They are brothers. At first their relation was close to the relation between master & servent.
But gradually, their relation was changing! Younger brother;Ruslan challenged toward big brother;Andrey
by performing!! Ruslan's jaggling performance with sincere attitude was gonna be turned to colorful show
by big brother;Andrey's cynical magic!!(That's cool.)
Which artist come to be a winner??

Love is beautiful/SOLSORA

Michel from Canada and Tomoko from Japan, their performance is like a love story.



Michel began learnig circus acts, because he fell love with Tomoko,
who was performing circus... the moment when their lives changed.

Not only the story, but the costumes and set-design are
all their own creations.

If you see their performance, you slip into their beautiful love story.

High up in the sky/Kanakov

This is not a composite picture.
A woman is actually jumping high up in the clear autumn sky
in Shizuoka!
Jumping and dancing performed above the "Russian bar" held by two big men are very exciting!

Do you wanna try it?
Stand on the bar, open your arms, and then..., pose!
The hight is 1.5m, maybe?
That must be scared.
Without safety mats, they perform amazing acrobatics.
The secret is..., 'cause they are the Kanakovs!
