This is the act that made me the fan I am nowadays. Elena’s beauty & grace combined with the perfect song “Cerceaux” it’s beyond my imagination. It's my second favourite song in Cirque's catalogue, with Francesca Gagnon or Mary-Pier Gilbaut even with Nancy Arnaud, the song itself it's perfect, for me it's a wake-up call to not surrender and awake my inner strength.
Combining the grace and agility of a gymnast with the flexibility of a contortionist and the dexterity of a juggler, the enchanting elfin-like performer weaves her way through a myriad of ever-spinning hoops.
As the clown rushes off stage to nurse his burnt fingers, Fleur calls to the Old Birds, who rush the stage. One by one they come out, each holding a metallic hoop. Seeing it as more of a toy than anything else, they try and manipulate it around their waists, but it falls to the ground. Too lazy to pick them up, the Old Birds leave the hoops.
Fleur smiles again when a young woman appears. She is beautiful and Fleur takes to her immediately. She bends her body to and fro, causing Fleur to topple over in anticipation. And then, the young woman takes hold of her hoops and does amazing things. With her limber body, she whisks her silver hoops around her body - her limbs, her torso, her head - without losing motion or contact with her rings. The positions she can get into are amazing and when she adds two, three and way too many hoops to her body - she's all a glow in the limelight!
