White Night Sonnet

Former Cirque du Soleil artists Pauliina Rasanen and Slava Volkov performing their new hand to hand/dance act in Hannover, Germany.
Slava, the former World Champion of Sports Acrobatics, conveyed his rock solid technical foundation into the act, as Pauliina, the lithe aerialist from Finland, brought in her innovative choreography and body movement. The inspiration came from various sources such as their personal relationship, the union between a powerful man and a woman. Through handstands, poses, and figures the lovers express sensitivity, trust, and balance. Sometimes the traditional harmony shatters as she, 50kg, supports him, 80kg. Or when he holds her by standing only on his neck. But above all this act is an expression of love—a true-life fantasy, a sonnet.
