Mark "I'm really privileged to perform with Rudi"

In fact, they are living different places, which makes it difficult to meet for their practice.
However we can't guess the situation from their perfect performing.

What is the great thing to have pertner for performing art?
They responded "When one of us forgets something, the other remembers ! "From the response, we can see them supporting each other all the time.

Depending on the weather and the situation, their performance comes out differently.
Their performances are unpredictable, which is so exciting !

Do come and see their dinamic acrobat and feel love from their combination!!!

Memorable moment/Andrey&Ruslan Fomenko

On the stage turn up two guys in black that look like a noble kinsman and his man. The peerage wearing a silkhat sweeps the floor in a way that makes you laugh.
He starts taking off closes of his young inferior one after another! Oh the young barely escapes being stripped naked. You don't know when, the young and the older come to take the lead alternately. Now the older handles strings superbly, making a series of knots in an instant without any of the audience knowing how. Unbelievable! Now the young is juggling, manipulating strings with balls at both end of them. Here's the
most memorable moment during this performance. The balls tosssed high in the air succesively are so breath-taking. The scene you can't forget. Worths dollars definitely, I say. After the show,
these energetic performers coming from Ukraine kindly had an interview with the reporter. "We two are brothers," says Ruslan, "This does much to help us to work together". He remarks, "only attentive children who listen to their parents make good street performers, I imagine." Let us give you another big round of applause, Andrey and Ruslan! (TransAm)
