Aerial Ballet in Silk Act - SOLSTROM (Cirque du Soleil)

[GloriaAngel65]

How can you turn something so movingly beautiful into a conversation about sex? It is stunningly breathtaking art.

[Lyssakrumholz]

Whoa ripped!!

[yml288]

Como se llama la cancion cuando empieza hacer la tela ??

[septie14]

i'd be the idiot to hang myself in all of that silk haha

[fromoxfordwithluv]

@septie14 as would I :P

[luv2bellydance4life]

God That's So Beautiful. I Would Love To Learn How To Do That. (sigh)

[alinder34]

@MikeyXKun...the song is on the La Nouba sound track, it is called "Reve Rouge". This act/song was the first thing I ever heard from Cirque. I had never seen anything, ways thought it was just a musical circus. This forever changed my mind! I am now a huge fan! Good luck!

[1anZana]

I did silks for the first time today but i didnt like it because when i put my foot in a knot it hurt too much

[MikeyXKun]

love the song!!! whats it called??

[DryBONESreborn]

What's with the make up jokes? You have to see people like several SEATS back, they need it put on to see the faces, and hence bright and exaggerated costumes. :)

[pigouinaki1]

oh that's amazing

love,,,

[michro88]

its like watching an angel dance

[MzReno2012]

I'm gettin addicted to this!!

So beautiful!!

[blackxbamboo]

I bet that takes an incredible amount of upper body strength. He does it so well

[Treblemaker09]

He makes it look so easy!

[100deidara001]

those are fake parrots.... i can easily tell

[cochinealake]

I love a lot the performance, beside of the amazing skill of the acrobat the piece have a great inventions. I was truly disappointed when I saw parrots on cages, animals on stage or circus are not right, animals are not set stage, not toys.

Please take away animals in every performance, the talents show in this pieces can live without them. Thank you for reading.

[waningbutterfly]

I actually disagree on the women are better at silks than men front

I think that men tend to show skill better whereas women have a tendency to rely on grace and slinkiness

That said I am a woman and do silks among other things but tend to learn some of the moves more commonly seen as masculine such as hands only spinning climbs on Chinese pole (seen in saltimbanco)

[Slipsnob]

@waningbutterfly

I had to accept a while ago that if men weren't so concerned about their masculinity, they could probably do ANYTHING that a girl usually does far better. @___@

[Slipsnob]

And okay, I may have been bitter about that before, but after seeing this man's performance, I'm in absolute awe. He's beautiful. The things man are capable of . . . it's simply amazing. They shouldn't be so worried about what society expects of them!

[floppaboppa]

I've been googling my eyes out to find the name of the move he does at 2:13. Anyone know it?

I want to try it some time, but I feel like a few tips beforehand could be helpful :(

[elementindustrial]

Women are better at silk than most men. But this was awesome. I enjoyed every bit of this act. This is proof that men can make silks beautiful.

[Titinefer1129]

amazinly beautiful!

[MattActorGordon]

Wow, I really thought this was the beginning to a MADtv skit, because this man looks exactly like Michael McDonald.

[JoeBrandAG]

En México la tela que usamos se llama "Magali" y la consigues en cualquier tienda Parisina. Yo tengo 16 años y estoy aprendiendo, pero no hay edad para intentarlo, en mi clase hay gente de todas las edades, hasta un señor de la 3era edad y nos lleva el ritmo a los avanzados (:

[difus]

even male actors wear makeup when filming, duh.

[TheFreaksRock]

Como es el nombre de la cancion?

[princesskeikyo25]

This is my very first viewing of a male silk ballet act. I have to say I was entirely impressed. This man has some amazing upper body strength. It was graceful and very riveting. Well done man!

[galacticgirl17]

me gusta el ballet aereo en telas, cual es el nombre de esa tela?

[mhan920]

this is gay

[AliKitten24]

@mhan920 and you're a loser

[AddictedToDivo]

@mhan920

This is art.

[jeebulljawbull]

Interesting choice for a title -- His technique seems very very well-practiced... but this doesn't seem to be ballet in any way at all!

[alanespano]

Since the song is called?

[MrMrMrprofessor]

@alanespano Reve Rouge is the name of the song.

[Keliiholokai89]

My god this is beautiful

[ematarrita3]

wo...

[katalino123]

que genial me encantoo

[mauluis111]

lol yhea xD beecels

[Beecels]

super homosexual, but a cool act

[musicianchick4eva]

this is the worst cirque du soleil act i have ever seen. the aerial silk act in quidam is heaps better. check it out!

[Shadowparadox]

Maybe you just don't like male dance?

This act is about strength, whilst the act in Quidam is grace.

Men and women perform different acts, you know. It would be feminine for a man to do the act from Quidam.

[TavohnP]

@Shadowparadox I agree with you. This scene is actually from La Nouba and this very scene actually has four ladies that are on the silks. The contrast still brings tears to my eyes.

[xanyxxxx]

@Shadowparadox So what if it was feminine to do Quidam? Are you a homophobic redneck?

[Shadowparadox]

@xanyxxxx I'm homosexual.

[hibityhabity]

really funny

[toughassMOFO]

hahaha this was hilarius in the meeting today i mean wtf hes trying toa break out of jail when a clown with boxing glove hands blows a raimbow on this guy and his shirt flys off

[Beecels]

dont get me wrong, i know this takes skill/talent. but god damn this is hard gay

[Morticialovesherpit]

Hm... in other inquiries, are your abs as rock hard as his?

[sjinternationalent]

Hi!Urgently need Aerial silk duo for contract in Korea from march.Contact me ASAP if interested!

[circuswolf7]

[beto98]

[circuswolf7]

uhhh, yeah.

[MrMarkguerrero]

@circuswolf7 lets try that



[pledgey99]

Its a Solstorm act yet... it has La Nouba soundtracks in the background?

[rebobness]

because the act is from La Nouba :)

[Watcher3119]

yep...... what is *this* from though??

[dalesuspender]

hes pretty fucking good between the sheets

[luisrp]

Is this the same performer currently in La Nouba? I saw the show last July and it is soooo much better than this one. More romantic with the red silk and more energetic with the other four female performers doing their stuff so high above the stage. It was my favorite part of the entire show.

[EvanOz85]

No, the singer here is Dessy Di Lauro. The current singer is Sisaundra Lewis.

[luisrp]

By performer I meant the acrobat, not the singer.

[beto98]

i like better sissaundra lewis. thanks for the info evan

[cameraboyboyboy]

pasense x fotolog si tienen tiempo

/lagrancarpa

[FoofaFilms]

If the pay is right......

[navysealgirl1989]

yeah he is in LA NOUBA now, he looks great in it too. so much better than this one. much more romantic

[siesje1982]

Hi! Can you tell me the name of his act in La Nouba? Thanks a million!

[navysealgirl1989]

the fence takes away from the romance of it...but he is awesome. i saw him with two friends june 3rd and he is just breath taking live. AND HOT HOT! this makes me want to go and watch him again.

[Daltanias]

I'm not sure but I feet in this video a lot of freedom and the fantasy of fly by myself.

[aishaaisha13]

How lovely!!!!!

[mcirque]

Is this Dessy singing?

[martelthefirst]

he is really good but i prefer christian hunt´s performance...

[vincenthope123]

that was brilliant! i love this Cirque du soleil movies!

[hadassah179]

Yes he is brillantly talented and the photography he's done as well!

[hadassah179]

His eyes look different at the end from when he peaks his head out.

[Wingsyimp]

I sware there cant be anything in life that convaze freedome more then this. This has to be the most beautiful preformence i have ever seen. There is nuthing more in life i would want to do more then to see them live! this was just unbelieveable.

[Luisayala1024]

El de la tela es cambiasso, de la seleccion argentina??? =P =P =P

[ShadowxTears]

This act is probably the most beauitful act in Cirque.<3 [Well, the La Nouba version...]
