Experience
Tissue


Though he desperately tries to catch her attention, Alan remains unnoticed by the glamorous goddess Olga. Finally, the once-unattainable object of his affection is within arms' reach, and their two worlds come together mid-flight in a mesmerizing aerial dance.

The next act is perhaps the greatest Cirque du Soleil aerial act I have ever seen bar none. It is a romantic aerial dance between a woman (the strikingly beautiful Russian Olga Vershinina) and a dwarf (Brazilian Alan Jones Silva). This is the one act that will make your jaw drop and elicit gasps of awe. The apparatus is a combination of the Aerial Silks and the Cloud Swing. Olga begins by performing aerial contortion in the flowing white fabric while incorporating some extremely dangerous looking Spanish Web style drops on the silk and the Cloud Swing. Alan performs an Aerial Silk solo with the same skills as the performers in La Nouba and Dralion. And, to a beautiful piano melody the pair flies over the heads of the audience in a touching and romantic moment.
