The Beginning: At first the stage is covered with a sheet, and when the Cavalier takes off the rid.. there is the "child" doll sitting on the candy chair, and Saltimbanco begins! |
|
The singers. In some shows there's only Susan, some only Isabelle, and in other shows the two of them come onstage. |
|
Adagio Trio: The family trio in simple but eye-catching bodysuits perform a stunning act with amazing flexibility. |
|
The vertical rope act, which was performed in 1992, replaced with Adagio. |
25-foot Chinese poles and the amazing creatures in costumes which remind me of candy bars. |
|
Chinese female walks on the double tightropes placed high in the tent, and then do astonishing acts with ribbons and unicycle. |
|
Boleadoras: Two women spin bolas and tap dance, creating wild and rhythmical beat full in the bigtop. |
|
Manipulation act replaces the boleadoras sometime. 3 world-class girls perform acts from rhythmic gymnastics. |
The most energish act, the Russian Swing. Each performer is in their original costumes which represent a form of civilization. They perform aerial acts as they dive off from the swing. |
Juggling: The 16 year old juggler takes center stage and awes the crowd as she juggles 7 balls effortlessly. There are "masked worms" around her passing her the juggling balls, which was actually a very cute sight! |
