About the act: The passion Pauliina and Slava felt towards each other and towards circus arts developed into a contemporary hand to hand act. Slava, the former World Champion of Sport 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 for the act came mostly from their relationship, from the union between man and a woman. Through handstands, poses, and figures they express sensitivity, trust and balance. Sometimes the traditional harmony shatters as Pauliina, 49kg, supports Slava, 80kg. But above all their act is an expression of love--a true life fantasy.
