Two 6-metre poles, bending up to 2.5 m to one side, rotating on their axis — an act rarely seen in Russia.

The idea came from watching Canadian and Australian street circus on Palace Square — Nikolai and a partner spent a full year developing their own version. Today only 3–4 theatres in the world perform this genre.

Works year-round, indoors and outdoors, with interactive audience moments.
