Duo Vladimir from Circus Conelli – Beyond the Impossible
Do you ever wonder what does a rope-dancer feel high up in the air, while defying death? Do
you ever ask yourself what sort of strength and self-composure one needs to master in order to be
always in control? They cannot afford to be nervous, displeased or out of shape during the show.
They are denied the luxury of hesitation or the slightest mistake. They are the daredevils of
circuses. Discipline and sacrifice are their logos, dedication and perseverance are their best
friends.

What is it about the circus that mesmerizes each and one of us? To some is the intensity of
certain acrobatic stunts, to others it might be the old clown’s foolish pranks, whose eternal smile
bears a great deal of tragedy. Others are fascinated by the luxurious costumes, the sparkling
lights and decors. To many more is the world of exotic animals, that are turned into jolly pets by
one single gesture of the tamer. It is a mysterious fairytale world, one that holds something
unique for each of us, while being a miniature mirror of our world of vanity fair.
