Experience
Contortion


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 Alegrķa 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.
