The pupils of Kazan circus school Ekaterina Yudina and Elina Zelenova became prize-winners of the international festival "New Generation". The prestigious competition gathered in Monte Carlo more than 120 artists from 16 countries.
The item that was fulfilled by our girls without exaggeration might be called a unique one. Difficult trick young actress performed on a swinging trapeze. This flips and pirouettes need to be performed not only clearly and accurately, but also simultaneously – for such a circus act only the famous artists of the circus "Cirque du Soleil" dared. The pupils of Kazan school coped with it brilliantly and conquered the experienced audience of Monaco by plasticity, courage and grace. It is worth noting that Elina and Ekaterina were the youngest participants of the festival. At the competition they struggled against professional artists over 20 years old. Our girls - 13 and 14. The fact that they were invited to just a month, not a year from the date of filing of the application as it is usually done, says a lot. This is a huge victory for their mentors - the choreographer and director of the item Svetlana Sharapova and artistic director of the Kazan circus school Ildar Igumnov.
By the way, this is the fifth victory for the pupils of our school at the international festival of circus art "New Generation" in Monte Carlo.
