Two competition days are behind us — now the entire festival cast takes the arena
The festival launched in 2017: that year, circus studios from the region shared their experience
By 2022, the festival’s prestige had grown significantly — the Omsk Circus became its permanent partner
No wonder the “Ikar” circus studio is an Honored Collective of Folk Art of Russia
The next act, “Cosmos,” is stylish and mesmerizing
We’re all launched into orbit by “Uniart” — a circus, dance, and acrobatics studio from Kemerovo
Next up on the arena are the youngest performers — sport acrobats
Their bright, ironic mini‑play is called “Strongmen”
Acrobatics continue: these artists drew inspiration from the perfect structure of minerals
It looks like every piece of circus props available is airborne at once!
The performance is incredibly dynamic, yet one can still take a moment to notice each performer
We could watch them for ages, but the gala concert has its own schedule to keep
With aerial gymnastics, one can express the most tragic emotions…
…and also make the audience feel the joy of a miraculous rescue
The ending is uplifting: from here on, the story will have a happy turn
The graceful girls seem perfectly cast for these roles
The audience applauds not just them, but all the young circus performers
The “Coda” performance neatly ties together the work of acrobats, gymnasts, and jugglers
The cheerful dance lets the duo showcase their acting skills
In circus terms, it’s an original genre — rope skipping
The “Ikar” studio from Tyumen introduces us to the folklore twist
The approach to the shooting position is choreographed from a full turnaround
It’s incredible: a fast, precise, elegant hit on target!
The performer is absolutely bathed in applause
The final production, “Miracles Happen!”, features more than 10 performers
“Kras Circus” from Krasnoyarsk knows how to amaze — and they do it with joy
The jugglers from “Circus Time” (Krasnoyarsk) are happy to help with that
And they’ll be backed up vocally by the Omsk pop choir “DoReMix” from the Oktyabrsky District Arts Center
Meanwhile, the “Arlekino” studio (Barnaul) is named the festival’s best circus collective
The evening’s final chord is a balloon flash mob with audience participation
