The newly devised show includes Yana Alievia on a revolving aerial chandelier; the Stalkions (three men and two girls walk, back flip and perform unbelievable pyramids 30 feet in the air on the legendary high wire); the Whirlwind Rubsovsm troupe who acrobatically catapult themselves across and high into the big top at breakneck speed; the juggling Sherbakovs on the reverse pyramid of St Petersburg; the Doktrovs, flying and spiraling in the apex of the auditorium; the vertical pole balancing of The Alikanov and the high flying bouncing bamboo bravados of The Perushkins.
