The creative team of the Turkmen State Circus prepared a festive performance for circus art lovers in honor of the country's Independence Day.
The renewal of performances began with a parade-alle. Not only did circus artists come out to bow to the audience to the music of the circus orchestra, but also one representative of each circus animal – a pony, Alabai, monkey, camel calf, and even a peacock. The peacock recently joined the circus and does not yet have its own act. For him, entering the circus arena is a lesson in getting used to the arena, the sounds of the orchestra, and the applause of the audience.
Traditionally, the performance opened with a romantic act featuring snow-white doves symbolizing peace, love and kindness. The updated performance by the acrobatic group "Galkynysh," featuring new tricks, captivated the audience. Incredible speed, flexibility and breathtaking somersaults marked the success of these young men.
The participants of the dance ensemble "Ýedigen" took to the arena. The dancers were dressed in national costumes, and this was a sign that a national act would follow. And so it was! A caravan of six camels in shiny capes was in the arena. Under the guidance of Arslan Annamyradov, his charges circled the arena barrier on their front legs, and one of them walked on its front knees in front of the audience, earning a storm of applause.
The audience was delighted by four monkeys trained by Liliana Yusupova. One of them galloped on a pony and then gave other monkeys a ride on its back around the arena.
Elegant clown Rovshen Melyaev performed with a new act. With a light dancing gait, he approached percussion instruments and, to the audience's surprise, turned into a decent drummer. Interacting with the audience, Rovshen infected them with his cheerfulness.
The skit in which Pena Myratdurdyev slid down the railings from the orchestra balcony to the arena made viewers laugh to tears. The charming clown drove monkeys off their pedestal and awarded himself first place for his performance.
The hosts of the second part of the circus performance were jigits from the equestrian sports group "Galkynysh," led by Serdar Bayramdurdyev. The magnificent Akhal-Teke horses performed amazing tricks – bows to the audience, Spanish steps, and many others. Then it was time for trick riding. At maximum speed, jigits performed spins, flips, stands, and pyramids. Their daring took one's breath away! And when a green flag began to flutter over these brave riders, a sense of patriotic pride overwhelmed the audience.
The festive performance was a great success! This was evidenced by the continuous applause for all its participants.
