The beauty of balance./Facundo Kramer

Have you already had a look at the great performance of Facund Kramer?
If you hadn't done it yet, you should watch it as soon as possible.
That is definitely one of the must-see performance.

"When I perfrom at the place I've never been, of course I'm nervous. But It's getting better and better.
What I'm worried about is the weather such as sunshine and temprature because I might have an accident by wetting my hands and falling from the pall."
His name is Facund Kramer, who are from Argentina. He is one of the world cup department artists and brother of Princess Elayne as well.
It is a big surprise that he is still 14 years old. His family is a circus family which has been passed down five different generations.

Despite his age, his performance is more than elegant and takes the audience's breath away.
The audience is overwhelmed by his amazing balance on a stand.
Not only the grace of his performance but also his well-trained body and handsome face attract a lot of people.(Just for the record, I'm not jealous of him.)
He said that he gets the idea of his performance and his father make it better. He is his father and his master as well.

"It's very clean in Japan and the reaction from the audience is great. It's actually better than I thought.
I'd like to do my best and I want to keep the level all the time."
I am for sure that he will do.
He is not the princess's brother any more but one of the world-class performer.

So...don't miss it!!

By the way, he is really good-looking, isn't he?

USA Juggler or Musician? Oh, yeah, both!!/Dan Menendez

The world cup department champion 2001, Dan Menendez is back!!
He said that he is really glad to come back this festival again and make people happy.
All of a sudden, he starts checking his electoric piano by throwing juggling balls to the keyboard.
Although, at this point, he draw all the attention of the audience already, this is just the beginning of his unique show.

He has been performing as a professional performer more than 30 years.
The reason he wanted to be in this busking world is that he got inspired by his father who is very famous for coaching Muhammad Ali.
His father was also doing magic when Dan was young, which inspired Dan to be a performer.

"What do you think about the audience in Japan?"
"The audience is very different from what they used be. When I came to this festival last time, 10 years ago, people didn't show their
feeling like they do now. They just stared at me performing and they were very quiet even if they were laughing.
But they are more open-minded and laughing than before.
They express their feeling more, which is very good for performers. This is the biggest difference I've got."

The more he throws the balls, the more music plays beautiful melodies.
His action and rhythm is comical, funny and very comfortable so that we can watch it again and again.
Why? Who knows!?

The moment he finished his show, I couldn't believe that he had been performing it more than 20min.
Yes, I was totally in his world as if I was dreaming.
If you love music and juggling, this is the one you can't miss.
So let's play music with him!!
