| Abstract/Description |
Tape is just labeled Marina Ananieva. She appears to be an agent or something – for Rosgocirk? (There is an Ananiev group of aerialists in the Asian circus program post-94) There are a few tapes on which her name appears which appear to be selections of acts. This one is not dated and contains no list. This tape starts with a man with a whirly globe thing and then a cube thing, which he balances and manipulates. Few versions of this – one is date stamped 1997. Tape has gone funny – he is described as a metaphorical illusionist. Performed at Great Moscow Circus in England. This section poor quality. Tape improves with next segment – still the same guy. Then Duo Iouvilov – tapes doing something funny here as well. Backdrop is Circo Chen. Tape poor quality here. They are doing something moody on a table – acrobalance? Stopped mid migration as tape quality so poor. Need to check this one on another machine.
Re-migrated. Duo Iouvilov is followed by very slow handstands on a podium thing. This could be the same pair – now they are doing something adagio inside a strange tubular cage affair. All very solemn and balletic. There are still some tracking problems in parts of this tape – but some of it is reasonable quality. Followed by female aerialist in aerial hoop with tissu attached – this could be the same woman – hard to make out. Maybe not –– the act involves a lot of contortions within the ring. Then another man with the cube thingy. So dull compared with the Puzanovs. Now a female with juggling rings – sort of Chinese outfit – strange ritualistic opening then juggling. Then iron jaw and aerial act - and bicycle is used somewhere. Then white faced clown like figure with large ruffs juggles his ruffs. And then in slowmo. Then does ladder balances. Then a perch act on a swirly metal thing. Hoop act – male performer. |
