Solstrom Balancing Act

Very good act, I believe this guy was also at the opening of the 2000 Olympics.

[@Rafazzel]

I still enjoy this performance. Saw this on tv many years ago, then saw him in NYC with Zarkana. I cried.

[@Meli2305]

Je trouve ce vidéo excellent! Aussi je garde un bon souvenir de ce tournage...

[@Alucard14L]

Sin palabras...simplemente hermoso

[@taikoshep]

For all the cirque fans out there, I believe that he was approached by cirque again to be part of their new show Zarkana, opening at Radio City Music Hall in NYC this summer. I could be mistaken, but seeing previews for it there are clips of an act that look very similar to this.

[@pinkshrimp]

My god that was amazing, thank you for the video! I remember seeing this on Tv a while back but not paying close attention. I can't even begin to imagine all the strength it must take to make it look this fluid.

[@Dancing24]

Yes he is!

[@careTWOdance]

He was performing at the 2012 Oscars right? Such amazing talent!

[@carlosmbrizuela]

excelente video, todavia no se puede ver esa seria en la argentina. cuando la van a dar? aguante Cirque du soleil

[@cecyfz]

After all these years, I'm still amazed by this act! If anyone has discovered what song is playing during his performance, please let me know! I've been looking for it for so long now!

[@Rafazzel]

you know you can download the song straight from KZbin.

[@cecyfz]

@@Rafazzel I know, and I have done that, but the quality of the audio isn't good. I wish I could find the original recording of it

[@onewingedengel]

hay muchos que piensan que es un bailarin, pues no, el es un acrobata y equilibrista de manos many think this guy is a dancer, well he is not, he is an acrobat and hand balancer

[@sledingers999]

His name is Anatoley Zalevsky

[@saveusmilkboy]

i love the fact that cirque can open for the Olympics... but they are not allowed to enter the gymnastics competition cause they'd win the lot. puts our efforts into perspective, i suppose.

[@Ignauhak]

@ZebMacahan That's so true, he inspired me to learn how to lift myself out of splits just like he does in his routine, which I'm very thankful to him for, & it seems to me that most people are confusing "gay" with "expressive". What's wrong with men having tender feelings anyway?

[@starcreator]

Did you have to use a particular surface? I always wondered how this was done?

[@Arwendelbosque]

3:37 minutes of happiness

[@GusHamberg]

Yes, I saw Zarkana in Vegas and it is this same guy, BTW his name is Andry Kolotenko

[@ashlau]

Its actually Anatoly Zalievsky

[@carlosmbrizuela]

Los fui a ver. Por nada del mundo me lo iba a perder. En el 2008 dicen que vuelve con Alegria. Ahi saco Tapiz Rouge aunque tenga que comer arroz todo el mes jajajajaja.

[@cecyfz]

Does anyone know the background music? If anyone can give me both composer and name of the music, it would be easier to find.^^ It's not on any cirque's soundtrack cds.

[@Celx]

pero esto es una serie de teleision, no algo en vivo

[@Arwendelbosque]

when you have it, could you please pass me the info? Thank´s

[@RalphsVideoLab]

can anyone tell me what the music is, please

[@slightlyshattered]

@ddrobi Even if he was, who cares?

[@szoszos1]

What if he is gay? Who cares? Do you want to be his lover?

[@Dancing24]

I realy don't see any signs of being gay. You don't like gay guys? What's wrong with them??
