Truly amazing indeed. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome performance with everyone.

I've just watched it again. Whilst I'm amazed at the gymnastics required to perform like that, the old traditionalist part of me thinks that there's more to ballet than just tricks.

 

The artistry is missing I think - and I think of someone like Sylvie Guillem who was very, very supple but nonetheless brought such emotion and feeling to the role.

I can understand that but I think (without playing the clip again to check) that this was the Chinese State Circus not their national ballet company, which makes it interesting. Couldn`t imagine Billy Smarts doing it somehow!!

Thanks for that, incredible, and strangely disturbing.
