Russian Swings Act - VAREKAI (Cirque du Soleil)

[sussussussus]

i pretty much ignored this act on the video. but i saw it live around a year later and this was my favorite. it was so intense!!! what a great ending to a fantastic show!

[nighttimestars]

anyone know what this song is called?

[simplycoles]

i saw this in saltimbanco , and it blew me away , i had floor seats ! :P

[iforgotwhatiwasdoin]

0_0?!?!? at 4:52

[alegria101]

Yeah, just got to love Max and his kamikaze jumps! :)

[DETHGOD2]

u no max my moms friends works in the Cirque wen it comes to miami i have a pic with him i went to his trailer

[chaoticXharmony]

towards the end, i didnt even want to see what they were going to do next, i was totally terrified one of them was going to bash his skull into something

apart from nearly giving me 10 heart attacks, it was freakin AMAZING

[simplinimal]

i want want of those in my backyard

[TyexDyexKid]

Oh My God!!!! Some of my friends, four brothers, got two Russian swings and put them in their basement. A day later they were jumping from one to the other and swing backwards and flipping over. I swear they almost gave me a heart attack! They're so small and frail. One even has a bone disease. His bones are has thin as paper! And he's jumping around on those swings! They are so gonna kill themselves....the swings are really fun, though.

[FrozenThorns]

that is by far the coolest and randomest thing to have in your basement.

I want one! lol

[l0wmaster]

i spend many an eavning whach cirque on youtube and this has got to be one of my favorite acts

[meerten918]

why not watch them live? ;)

[l0wmaster]

never have money

though hopefully i will be seeing them when they come to london which will be sooooooon!!!!

[Vortexnightstar]

18 more sleeps and i go to see these, i cant wait...i love this so much

[ritsfata]

It would be dangerous for the audience, but it wuld be sick if they flew over them in this act. This was and still is my second faverite act in the show.

[x0neTreeHillx]

I've been to the Europese première of Varekai and it was AMAZING, It can't describe how cool it was.

[cirquedumaddy]

PIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

thats Amazing...

i cant believe that i saw that LIVE!

[VarekaisDevil]

Mee too! HI-5!

[12aindrop]

very nice

[rx0]

I think that the song name is Oscillum.However they make remixes of this songs, and they are a little different from the Dvd of Varekai.

[dovabay]

so what is the song title, i love it soo much i wish i could see it live!

[VarekaisDevil]

Most of these actors are the maked people, in the Georgian Dance

[chicabuena]

I dont know!!

[VarekaisDevil]

What do u mean you don't know...?

[chicabuena]

Forget it... i got confused, you're right, theses acrobats are in the Georgian Dance.

[VarekaisDevil]

yeah that's what I thougt.

[VarekaisDevil]

i know that!!!

but u need to explain WHY u don't know.

[chicabuena]

What??

[VarekaisDevil]

Makes you feel like you could fly... (Staring at the top of a 20 story right now)

[Zerstoerte]

My teacher's there :> He's the guy in the left at 5:02

[VarekaisDevil]

(This is adressed 2 Zersdtoerte).

Your teacher could be in the Georgian Dance.

But he is it the Opening theme (The guy with the bouncy feet, hes wearing orange and white, and has fake spikes hanging all over.)

[Zerstoerte]

Oh really?? Im gonna look for that video and tell him, he doesnt even know he's on Fire Within too, a slight cameo, but he's there ;P he's a great trainer!

[VarekaisDevil]

Cool

[FrozenThorns]

That's so cool! Are you learning this now?

The guy in the front with his hat off is so young looking. He looks likes his nineteen at most! Does anybody know who he is?

[Zerstoerte]

He was my trampoline teacher, and he helped me out with handbalancing and things like that. He's awesome! but I recently moved away and he's now working at a show.

That gym was great though, both my coaches were former cirque du soleil artists and the owner was too!

[ritsfata]

do you know how lucky you are to work with them?

[Zerstoerte]

Haha I do know how lucky I am. They taught me amazing things and gave me tips on how to get to CdS in the future. Now I go to a circus school that has another man very well connected to CdS, so it seems they just keep appearing in my life! :D

Both my coaches especially are incredible people.

We would compare scars and injury stories haha

[FrozenThorns]

Wow, circus school! How cool! What's that like? Haha, the Cirque people are just automatically attracted to you, or something. :) Lucky you! What's the worst injury you ever got?

[Zerstoerte]

Oh sorry I took so long to reply!

Circus school is a LOT of hard work, but it's always worth it :D Yeah seriously, I have another more recent Cirque teacher, and she's awesome! The worst injury has to be the open ankle dislocation I had. But! that was in gymnastics, not circus :> Minor injuries are common, like right now my wrist is slightly injured, but eh. No biggie.

[FrozenThorns]

open ancle dislocation...eee...sounds painful. Good luck with everything! What show was she in? Are you working on something specific?

[Zerstoerte]

She was in Saltimbanco and in O. She's in the headquarters right now cause she got another contract with them, but I dont know for what show.

[BusinessDog2000]

The guy who takes his hat off to do the kamikaze jump is Maxim Levantsevich. He's from Russia, is 21 years old (at the time this video was recorded) and has been touring with the show since 2002... and he's still doing that flip :) He also plays the blue creature with the shark-like fins that is on most of the posters/program covers etc.

[FrozenThorns]

That is talent. 21?? Dang. Thanks for the info! I've been wondering for a long time. All the flips and jumps he does are absolutely incredible.

[NorCalSurf]

Radical! That was the most exciting act I have seen yet in Varekai. Absolutely awesome and the energy is just off the chart. This act gets me so stoked. Cirque!

[snakemora]

Jesus, as a matter of fact, i must say and will say that circus equals russia.

grosni!

[DJKennyTheJuggler]

I saw this Live and this proves that it SUPER and it was in perfect synch with the Music. I love the music, does anyone know the song name ?

[VarekaiCDS]

It's because of this act that I chose this login...spasibo rebyata!!!

[Taegre]

When I watched this live, the energy was soo great and you just didn't want it to end! Such and adrenalin rush! Amazing!

[adrisotsa]

o por Dios si que son buenos.. este numero nunca lo habia visto.. esta genial
