Small, delicate bird-like creatures, the two contortionists bring this refined
Mongolian circus art to the stage. Perched on a seemingly weightless table which rotates
slowly as they perform, the duo executes both impressive and imaginative feats of flexibility
and balance.
One of the most celebrated performance in Cirque du Soleil's
Alegría are these young contortionists from Mongolia. These two young
women will surprise you with their graceful movements, their
contorting ability and their warming smile.
The Strong Man removes the featherly-like wings from both
girls then stands in the background protectively. Sometimes
they move in "mirror image" to each other, sometimes together,
and sometimes supporting each other one on top of the other.
While this act is usually performed as a duo, it can be performed as a solo
when necessary.
