The Making of Quidam

Alexei shouting Christian young okay we start from the beginning I want this industry I want this if you're sure Maliki Dempsey is best for me the Kadam pays a kind of tribute to the joys and suffering of everyday people everyone who does not appear in ads or television clips or in the public spotlight these are gawkers people who wander all over the place we have done a lot of show with a lot of success that we can think that now the next one will be a success what we want to do now is start a new cycle we have tried this year we have tried to change to evolve a little bit of the process to really change the show one minute more what I hope is that we will reach a certain percentage of the ideal that we have in how my now I'm here only three weeks something crazy for me because I don't understand everything but I have time understand to the baggage they are see you can just sit there on your behind to do theater you have to get up off your chair you have to make a decision so it's a good practice for life itself I would say thank you you can go to the Chevy tow Oh I like this right now we're very innocently researching and it's part of a process to get to know who I am and who they are and how we can create together hopefully we will have a library of research and then we will be well on our way to decisions on what direction to take I only get one way yeah what they have they have very good supplements this helps a lot and what they have as well is to the Manitou just to find things to building our muscles that's nothing let's just work but you have this kind of thinking just to try things that not everybody has and I think they have it creatively with their body it's that service and I think they have everybody you you limey of English look I'm pretty know what you'd be great if he had her feet and he can turn sure girls time easy okay okay come on yeah I lik that was nice it's too kind okay then maybe even two here ja is that - hi Jillian after you must have probably wondered if all like these musical chairs and all this she can just step off his hands and after setup constitutes ashes they stay like this and after Eleanor come through or leg it's art it's not circus anymore and when we are trained us to do it so show not only acrobatic not only dance not on the movement we want to touch the people and tell to the people something if we want to do a new show we have to change our way to work and I swear to you that I will do my possible to change my way to work father is a all same among the acrobats that the factor but wakes up in the morning and he doesn't hurt chances are he's dead 20 years I do this work so I know how I know technique so some people can do this and we have pain on something but I know how everybody from them know want to do this you know they have a muscle tear apart now she can give you a massage a real good massage don't do anything without warm-up yourself they ask me what are you afraid about me and I say that you're afraid that I'm gonna tell you stop training they don't like they want to train the shot was sealed it taken economy I don't care about the venue the doctor problem goodness there's nothing normal about holding three guys I'm Kevin fourth guy land on top of the third guy there's nothing normal in our human make up for that there's nothing normal flying through the air and being fully confident and allowing the koechers the core just to do all the work there's nothing normal for a port or cage somebody on the arms when they comin down from the night of the 20 feet so that element of some to some extent pain is always there for example we were working on a figure where the guy said we can do 10 times out of 10 so they can handle it the question that I have to pose to them can I do it 600 out of 600 now cos they're relaxed you are look public not public now public sacha public Igor it's up to you to preserve your energy don't be like this all the day and the night because you will be tired and relaxed you go every quarter of an hour just drink a little bit and especially we if you stretch after the muscle is stretching better if you drink not a lot but better to drink a little bit every quarter an hour then to drink once every hour Cybil don't they come here to give it everything I've got I know I've got a lot to give the ropes burn we've got bruises everywhere on our fingers and hands we've got blisters morning Technica Franco's got a technique you explained something vague and he says go for it when you don't understand and makes them happy because it means you're going to show him something he doesn't expect see tsukumo up on that let me get you there is something wrong if all I see while the music plays is a trapeze act 6 and much ma-kun on the other hand when I have two ropes and ayran bar in someone on the trapeze with music and lighting that all of a sudden gives me something else not just a performance but an image if I have images that think then it works the music has to help me construct and write down images that think energy what you want Bronco was talking to us about a transformation so we meet this these people just on the border between life and let's say ultimate foolishness and John and I we are the two characters they already on both sides we already stepped across the border so we are already beyond like my character answers to everything with a smile I don't know what my character is he gave me basically all the freedom I'm I'm leading in this show like in terms of okay whenever you have an idea just come in before you know it was like okay may I show this oh may not show this but at this point I say okay but don't join me we'll never know it could be too much for you to do or haha you always tell me don't be a dancer don't be an actor be real okay Olga I want something strong now okay improvisation not only the same okay we try beautiful Johnson T I want to see who you are okay no actors performers I will get out a little late Franco was more of a provocateur than a director he provokes things from me the group closer was he busy often my relationship or what I hear from from Franco is John on stage now oh and there's no time to think we stopped there we stayed there I just have to go and do things and be entertaining it just would be nice if you could jump on him you know like this you look to get so far away I really need our deal Italy low a little in our please give the supply okay he then skirt up there it's it's a mix it's again a big mix of people and people come from across sport they come from their circus acrobats and from different cultural backgrounds I from Russia a lot of people from Russia Ukraine America Canada Quebec I like that will you recover right to vertical I kept hearing that that when I when I was training that it's a really really good group a tight group and that everybody's working well together and it wasn't until I came that I really got a feeling for the way everybody's working together I think it's a really really good group they are really expressive and creative and they really have fun even if they make mistake and I think the the rhythm of all the group even if we are different language the body can speak really easily and I'm really happy with this group it's the best of and really the best of Sasha the best of rows of Alina the best that you could give to us just a little things everybody was up front and nobody was holding back that is very much appreciated and willing to open up an experiment not afraid to to look foolish for one waiting for Valley on please nut job surely study like Mercer yes Oh where you live in the big time we're in the big stuff I don't know where we are now but we are new picked up have a good joke eunsu's get septic one thing that is sure and it can be scary sometimes is that the show must open when we said that it would and there is a magic moment when everything falls into place just like that when despite all the trouble we had in moving a foot from left to right in making the turntable go around and doing the lights all of a sudden bingo it all comes together I got up this morning and I was already nervous one week before the premiere you need to have a feeling of the whole each act in each tableau and of the whole show they need run throughs where they can go oh my god of course this is what it is nobody knew about that range just find out is we went on stage we just found out that it was certainly things we have to take off but we just realized when we're on stage that we had to do there that's how it is in a dress rehearsal it's like a micro universe where at eight o'clock everybody's pulling on the same string to make a two hour and a half happening and it has to be the consciousness of everybody public's great yeah it's totally great I mean I guess we got like 2,000 people out there tonight and they're really enjoying themselves at the beginning of the show when the audience was reacting so wonderfully and so loudly people were just backstage like dancing around and stuff couldn't wait to get on stage you know I mean everybody's really into home I probably all the English she knows who's my honeymoon we only together under the big top on the big top stage coming from different backgrounds as many nationalities as professions choreographer music lights acrobats performers dancers we all share a moment together and the result is a show that is enjoyed by the spectators the sublime moment comes when all these people speak to each other the you
