I recall watching a stage show at Genting when I was young but the memory was vague. So vague that I couldn’t remember any of the single details but for this little girl that sat in between her parents, it was indeed a magical night.
Little did this girl know that she would be watching the stage show again, and this time, under invitation from Genting itself. It was a reminiscence of those magical moments.
As a warm up, the show started with contemporary dance routines from 14 international free stylists accompanied by some hip musics. Then this lady came into stage and was gracefully dancing alone in her tutu until the companion came and started to turn things upside down. The result? a comedic ballet like no other.
Two guys were randomly picked from the row of bloggers, given full tutu, and dance their first ballet, it was hard not to burst out laughing by their hilarious moves.
The Upside Down Ceiling Walker
It was unbelievable how Kar Leclrc and his partner stayed upside-down on 30 feet above the ground, with no wires attached. I am amazed not only by their ability to walk, dance, even to play badminton in the air, but how the basketball they bounced would "fall" to the ceiling instead of our very own ground? I bet they managed to confuse Newton and his apple if he were to see this show.
During our short interview after the show, we try our very best to dig the secret out of their mouths. Well, it was a failed attempt. This too, as some of the other secrets, is better not to be revealed and the performance serves best as imagination for our younger generation.
It wasn't easy at all hanging upside down for few minutes as the blood tends to rush up the brain, leaving both legs numb and thus the possibility of falling. Though with such risk, awards at the International festivals of Monte Carlo, China and Moscow attested their efforts and made it worthwhile.
The Gazillion Bubble Show
Touted as “unbubblievable”, Jano has blown my mind away with his foam manipulation: stacking of bubbles, addition of mist, and even blowing bubble out from within another bubble were simply astonishing.
For your record, he has been travelled around the world for the past 20 years alongside his brother Fan Yang, the world renowned bubble scientist, artist, and performer where they have performed for numerous prestigious corporate functions, and even made a special appearance for presidential events in Paris, France. He himself was nominated for Best Artist for the popular TV Show “Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde” in Paris, France. Here and now, Jano is performing solo at Genting International Showroom.
The Rola Rola Man
Portuguese performer Dany Daniel has got my adrenaline pumping in his attempt to hit remarkable heights by having more and more Rola from his pretty assistant Edina while he himself is swaying sideway seeking balance. Their gravity defying talents have mesmerized more than 20 million viewers worldwide, and even gained recognition from England’s Queen Elizabeth II during the recent 89th Royal Variety showcase. If you have not noticed, they are the same performers in comedic ballet earlier on.
Water Bowl Act
For the last performance for the night, watch Mongolian Anudari and Khaliun, better known as the Deo Aqua Mermaids as they descend gracefully in aerial hoops then splashed into the transparent giant bowl.
A beautiful combination of Mongolian Contortionism and aquatic agility.
