Oriented on making people closer

The Great Moscow Circus on Vernadsky Avenue gave its final performance in Ashgabat, completing its New Year's tour lasting a month.

During these days, the audience has not dried up, despite the full house at every show, and the artists have not lost the drive, which, in fact, is the essence of their profession. Professions surprise, amaze, delight, give smiles, laughter and joy. Isn't it true – one of the most necessary professions for humanity for its purpose, which is unlikely to be mastered by the neural network in the form in which we are accustomed to perceive the circus.

A profession that is not made out of thin air and words while sitting at a computer, but is created by that time–consuming, sometimes exhausting physical, practical and creative work, when the performer (similarly, partners by number) relies only on himself – on the capabilities of his body, intellect, artistry and intuition, and many other things, including charm.

Moscow circus performers charmed Ashgabat residents, and the contact was sincere. Acrobats, trainers, jugglers, equilibrists and many other members of the circus family were received by the Turkmen public with childlike openness and at the same time with adult gratitude for these hours of carefree fun and enthusiastic moments of "ah!".

Turkmen artists from the Galkynysh group of national equestrian games also supported their colleagues in the arena, who performed an amazing equestrian number combining the most spectacular techniques from a number of circus arts and skills.
