[eireskate]

Just so people know this is a guy and a girl not two guys doing the act. A lot of people seem to think it is two guys which it is not.

[supercockencool]

wow thats cool

[genskitty]

I have only a few simple words to describe these guys and even these words will do no justice to them.

Amazing

Beautiful

Great Control and strength

[maestrovoci]

This should be an event in future Olympics! if so, this couple should win - beautiful.

[yolandarab]

I love it.

[TwistingWays]

My god that was the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life time! If only I had seen it live, I think I would be in tears!

[TrapilaGoldsap]

the theme of the music sounds very  familiar. I think they used it in Quidam, but I'm not sure. In any case, I absolutely love this act! Brute strength mingled with graceful, effortless movements. I'm astounded!

[orgelnam08]

this is PERFECT balancing!!!!

[smbearkat2013]

I live really close to where this sequence was shot.

[GERARDOE1]

EXCELENTE !!!!!!

[Scampbell32]

[TrekaXxx]

[Ambubaia1111]

Does anyone know how this discipline is called? I only see those amazing stuff by chance and cannot search for vids without the name of this sport.

[jroa187]

searh the videos as acrobatic duos and you'll find a lot of videos

[henrapoide]

this is called main à main, this is the more static style of it, there are very few samples on the net of it, the more rapid and acrobatic main à main is more popular.

[kissobsessed]

I cannot believe this. I've watched it so many times and it still amazes me. Who in the world thought this up and then actually thought it would be physically possible. aweiorfjfjfjafhjkjasil;gujior

[uile1]

waohhhh que increible, viendo esto me da mucha emocion, es tan hermoso

[rowelle]

I remember watching this in 3D at IMAX :)

[hardingem]

Me too!!!

[dummblonde345]

my fav by far. completely breathtaking.

[salolamilainen]

these guys make me feel so unflexible

[bigmazey]

Saw this in Quidam in Barcelona last week. No camera trickery here this is totally amazing.

[horsecrazygurly]

oh. my. gosh.  wow.

[cutiegoodas]

I am at a lost for words are these two even human. well it is said that if all the muscles in the human body communicated and worked together a person would be able to pick up a car. Maybe they have found a way to defy science and figured out how to do so. simply stunning

[YuDiabolo]

is there anyone know how to contact with the actors?

[xxDrowningInFlamexx]

Holy shit that's amazing...

[BRACEFACE312]

[xxkil]

[dummblonde345]

How do you even begin to train for this? Seriously! Leave a comment on my page...

Thanks! :)

[elianedarosa]

lindo

[schmooberry]

This is my favorite Cirque De Soleil performance. I would love to see this live, as it IS 100% genuine and real. Amazing what the human body is capable of! I love how these two play with gravity. It will remain a dream of mine to participate in a moving sculpture act. These two artists have such wonderful strength, flexibility, grace, and balance. Bravo!

[mulker47]

My friend and I want to learn how to do this. He's a gymnast and I am a wrestler. Any schools in NYC that teach this. I never saw anything that captured my attention like this.

[raperaza]

[neltiac0932]

hey does anybody know the last line of Cirque du soleol?? The one the narrator says about needing imagination love and faith???

[cici544]

I LOVE this scene :]

[MrQsiel]

i think this is maybe but i'm not saying this is Fake Circus du soleil can do things like this , But i think its animated maybe

[ESeath]

They have a dvd of this, its a movie and you can see up close that it is actually people.

[anjalisbestfriend]

at around 2:49 and 3:15 i was like WOW! how can they bend like that? this is a very beautiful act

[virgiliovirgilioo]

What a magnificent act!... Chicabuena, I was looking for this act for so long!. Thanks for posting it !

[ValerianSoup]

Not only is this an incredible example of balance and flexibilty, but the show of brute strength is as well. I'm not convinced they're not androids. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Thanks for the post, chicabuena.

[Nenyath]

I completely agree with you! It amazes me how slowly they move from one figure to the other, it belies great strenght! It was one of the acts which impressed me the most while watching Quidam (not that all the acts didn't (read "blowed away"))

[dennyb05]

you guys should see it live its ten times better.. i saw kooza live in toronto i walked out shaking it was sooo amazing

[boardwalkman]

I live where this was filmed. This was filmed in San Mateo, CA.

[FoolOfATook23]

[lube88]

[lindseygrr]

Wow! This is one of the most amazing cirque acts I've ever seen. They are both incredibly strong and they truly look like statues.

[alkalinetrio3982]

Besides a little bit of lag (from what I believe), I love the visual effect of this!

[rakettfua]

I agree, MadmadMedusasSoul. This is one of my favourites.

[MadMadMedusasSoul]

i've been searching for this for a while now. Thank you. One of cirques best acts.

[daedal2]
