Cyr wheel
Oleksandr Aniskin, an artist of the duet of Primavera, introduced a new number – the Cyr wheel aboard the TUI cruises Mein Schiff 4. This act is fundamentally different from air duets on various circus devices (air straps, air ring, silks, trapeze, rope), which have already been created by a duet or solo. The whole complexity of performing tricks lies in the extremely complex coordination and balance of the artist’s body when performing tricks on a spinning wheel in this circus number. The gymnast’s excellent physical shape and attention help to control this complex circus apparatus with ease, regardless of the waves and pitching the ship gets into during the show of the programs planned by the cruise director. But as Freddie Mercury sang, “the show must go on.” Oleksandr Aniskin – circus number on the cyr wheel.
