EARTHLINGS / Tatiana Gousarova , Oleg Oucharov 2001

Tatiana´s und Oleg´s acrobatic act was just at the beginning of creation when they explored the symbiosis of Acrobatics and Tango for their solo piece.

The basic concept was to give the artists a maximum of freedom in their work allowing them to exercise their complete repertoire of figures and at the same time draw the attention away from the typical appearance of a dance couple. The result are multifunctional characters who can work with a variety of emotions without stereotypical preconceptions.

The earthlings were designed to be independent of the need of a specific background color which extends the possibilities to perform on various stages and events.
