Breathtaking Trapeze Dance/ Duo eMotion

When Duo eMotion's performance start, you probably wonder if you are watching aerial performance or dance performance. Duo eMotion combines acrobatic trapeze and floor dance movements and create whole new performance as the name "Duo eMotion" suggests. Duo eMotion's performance is not just about crazy acrobatic "motion" but also the "emotion" that the duo expresses through the motions.

Morgane and Pierre Antoine met in a small circus group in France over 10 years ago. The duo started to perform in International Circus school in Montreal in 2010 and has been working on their own since 2013. The trust between them is very strong as you can see from their performance. According to the duo, words are not necessary because they understand each other since they have known each other so long.

The duo combines trapeze and dance together to create a new form of art. Depends on the location, they need to perform without mats. To use all the space on the stage, they have decided to create the whole choreography including both trapeze action and floor dance moves.

While Pierre Antoine holding the trapeze with his feet and holding Morgane's hand, the duo spins high up in the air. It was such a breathtaking performance because of the thrilling acrobatic movements and smooth and graceful dance moves from beginning till the end. If you have a chance, you should definetely check out their breathtaking performance.

Future Crowns?

We were just browsing around Sunpujo Park when we bumped into these adorable crown twins.



This is their first time to come to Daidogei World Cup, according to thier grandmother.
Grandmother has been to the past world cup and had a great time, and this year, since the twin turned four years old, she brought them along to share the excitement of Daidogei.

While we were asking a few questions to the grandmother, the twin could not hide their excitement and happiness to be out on this nice warm day and get to see all the performances coming up.

The twin said they want to see crowns and magicians the most. I'm so sure that crowns would love to share the experience with these little crowns too!

Daidogei World Cup in Shizuoka 2017 has just begun! Tons of exciting artists are performing this year too. The weather is nice and warm, but it could get really chilly in the night. Don't forget to bring jackets so you can enjoy till the night performance ;)
