Young performers work in harmony and unison to bring a new approach to the art of
contortionism. What sets this number apart is the artists' innovations in movements and
position, their speed, and the way they work as a team to create tableaux of sculptural
beauty.
Sparkling in their gold-laden costumes, three young contortionists take the
stage next to bend themselves in ways unimaginable; they are absolutely on top
of their game. Julie Bergez, Natasha Patterson, and Dasha Sovik originally
performed a set unmatched anywhere inside or outside of Cirque du Soleil. What
these girls could do with their bodies was simply mind-blowing. Watch for the
run-around... what's that? For this stunt, Julie does a backbend and stretches
her head so far forward that her chin is on the mat, her head is facing the
audience. Then she literally runs her legs around her body like a spider. It is
astonishing. And the big-top would go nuts!
