The model circus studio "Fantazery" from Orsha has once again become one of the winners of a prestigious circus arts competition. This time, the young artists presented a solo program titled "Journey Through Time" at the 2nd Open Republican Festival "Arena-STAR". For this performance, "Fantazery" were awarded the Grand Prix along with a valuable gift and a First Degree Diploma. Additionally, the Orsha performers separately presented three solo acts: hula hoop routine "Khozyayushki", aerial silks "Vspyshka", and spool balancing act "Chess Queen". These acts received First Degree Laureate Diplomas.
– We are not participating in this festival-competition for the first time, – said Svetlana Ravkovskaya, head of the model circus studio. – It aims to popularize circus arts among children and youth in our country and promote the exchange of experience and skills. "Arena-STAR" has become an important milestone in the development of the circus festival movement in Belarus, bringing together amateur circus collectives from across the republic. Last year, "Fantazery" also won the Grand Prix and received a television set as a prize for the strap act "Chudak" performed by Polina Boloshenko.
This year, 20 collectives from the republic participated in the competition, presenting approximately 90 acts of various genres in the capital.
