THE WINGS CAST
A world-class international team of artists brings WINGS IN MY HEART to the stage. The reputation Rigolo has built over the past decades with its SANDDORN BALANCE has attracted gifted performers. They are fascinated by the unconventional and unique aesthetics of Rigolo, that casts its spell on every audience. They, too, want to join in the creation of new, unprecedented acts.
Although the SANDDORN BALANCE is the centrepiece of WINGS, new installations have been developed for the show, such as the “Pendulum”, the “Libellule” or the “Big Bird”. Though magnificent on their own, it is the artists’ special talents that bring these mechanisms to life on stage.
Kemal Dempster and Dani Borak, both world champions in their discipline, tap dance through the dangerous “Pendulum”, while Jenny Ritchie, aerialist from New Zealand, dances atop a soaring dove, or entrances audiences by producing breathtaking music by the manipulation of a wind harp.
Suren and Karyna, celebrated stars from the Cirque du Soleil, perform death-defying aerial acrobatics most easily and elegantly. And finally Marula, the Rigolo founders’ youngest daughter, performs the SANDDORN BALANCE with a touch of her own gentle elegance.
These talents, combined with soul-touching dance theatre scenes, evoke archaic images that resonate with audiences.
