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.

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)

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.
