In 1993, 13 Russian circus performers were hired by Cirque du Soleil and moved across the globe to perform in the finale of Cirque's first Vegas show, Mystere. Just two years later, the Russian trapeze act was removed from Mystere, but most of the performers have stayed in the U.S. Meet three of the Russian artists and hear their stories of growing up in the circus, the culture shock of Vegas compared to Moscow, and how they made lives for themselves in America after Cirque.

  • omg awsome flying trapeze footage from mystere tyvm for posting

  • It's so sad that they took them out of Mystere :( i'm surprised they werent promoted to another Cirque Du Soleil show.

  • Wow! What an interesting true story. All of the performers are very talented. It's a shame that the show changed and the performers were out of work after a few years. But everything happens for a reason. The show was just a stepping stone to something else. The next chapter in life. I'm truly impressed by Vladimir Mialovski lifestory. He is a real "STAR" in my eyes. I love ambitious people like him so inspirational. Incredible guy! I hope the best for him and his family.
