1st International Circus Arts Festival in Budapest
The Festival of Budapest revealed two attractions never see before in
the ring... "The Octopus" and "The Human Slinky". The
performers, Veniamin Duo, are the Romanian couple Veronica Chicioroaga and
Veniamin Oprea. The impressive "Octopus"
is a tumultuous white and blue stylized adage act with Veniamin playing
the role of the Octopus (male) and Veronica playing the Octopus female. The Human Slinky, a swaying sculpture, was presented solo
whereas normally it is performed as a synchronous duo act. Veronica was
injured while dancing with the Octopus the night before anyone realizing. Veniamin, have force of the
connections and the rhythm is very intense. The duo, with its
animated creatures, work mainly in music halls, cabarets, cruising ships
and for television. They have already been applauded in many capital
cities. The two visual acts with the king of dynamic and suggestive
corporal expression which creates a vision of supernatural beings - of
plastic poetry - have all the qualities necessary for a circus
career. By Sylvain Jardon- Foundation and director
