First-rate Cast
The Cast 2014 is complete. And yet again, it is an international top-class one. Participating this year is the Belarusian-Canadian "Duo May", a powerful aesthetic fusion of two bodies, the handstand acrobat Danilo from Germany, the identical twins Duo Elja with their beautiful trapeze act, the Duo Paradise with a fascinating equilibristic number, the trio of Spicy Circus with a rapid trampoline number, and Lotta & Stina with their erotic-humorous-inspired acrobatics.
Spicy Circus
It is unbelievable what these three charismatic performers can do with a trampoline and a row of houses. Canadian artist Andréanne Quintal from Montreal, who recently moved to Zurich, founded the Spicy Circus. They are considered a trampoline-jumping act of the highest level and have over 10 years experience in the circus and acrobatics scene. Andréanne is one of the few female artists in the world that is able to perform such acrobatics.
Duo Mai
They met in the studios of the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil. Christine Francoeur, a francophone Canadian and Yuri Pavlov from Belarus, overcame their cultural and linguistic barriers. Their common language is that of the body, their passion is bursting in their physical performance. Incredibly powerful and a perfectly staged show both the aesthetic fusion of two bodies, that cannot be any more complete.
Duo Elja
With the Cirque de Soleil show "Saltimbanco" they have already been on tour all over the world, they have preformed in the Tiger Palace and some of the most respected vaudeville shows in Europe; twins Julia and Ele Janke of Germany are among the best artists of their discipline. They will present a wonderful airplay of emotions on the trapeze. No one will be able to distinguish with these identical twin sisters: who catcher and who is the flyer?
Duo Paradise
When you imagine what it must be like in paradise, then one might most certainly imagine total harmony. The Ukrainians Nastia and Artem known by the name "Duo Paradise" have incorporated these ideas in their number and show in the most impressive form. Nastia and Artem demonstrate in their performance unconditional confidence.
Danilo
Perfection, energy, dedication, all this and much more awaits the audience from Danilo Marder, the three-time German champion of sport acrobatics. He impresses with his quiet yet unique precision and phenomenal power. The Leipzig-born artist completed his studies in 2008 at the State School of Circus Arts in Berlin as the youngest of his class. He already now looks back on a long career as a sports acrobat.
Lotta & Stina
Lotta & Stina – this act can only be called amazing partner acrobatics. Without even having a stable ground beneath their feet Lotta & Stina take the audience with their outfits back in the world of the 30s. All this on a board that is supported solely by a roller, their balance is changed in a split second to imbalance.
