Contorting bodies descend from the heavens (or is it someplace more sinister?),
returned to the marshy waters from where they first emerged. When the soul is
twisted, it proves it is flexible. Hailing all the way from Mongolia, these girls
have been performing since
the age of eight. Their graceful body language and lithe movements underline the
balletic perfection of the female form. Their arrival via the sky and their
performance surrounded by water adds a new dimension to this long-held circus
tradition.
The Floating Crocodile mask (used for the
contortionists) is sculpted from Fiberglass-laminated Styrofoam. The mask is
operated by a tech riding below the water's surface. It is motor driven from the
rear and carries up to 9 people.
