The 21/2 hour spectacle
showcases breathtaking acrobatics including the
dramatically sensuous Synchro Trapeze and the
hi-speed hi-energy Aerial High Bars where daring
aerialists fly to catchers swinging more than 40
feet in the air. Imagine the poetry of the
Mongolian art of contortion and an artist
manipulating flaming knives around his body in a
rhythmic and dangerous Fire Knife Dance.
The vibrancy of youth is
alive in Fast Track, a brilliant display of
synchronized choreography and tumbling achieved
through a trampoline system that magically appears
from within the set. In Russian Bars, artists fly
through the air with spectacular somersaults and
mid-air turns, landing on bars perched on the
sturdy shoulders of catchers.
