We were so excited to watch the Award-winning performers that day. The opening act was so sexy and I don't want to spoil it here, you better go watch it yourself. Haha.. and the story telling began where it show that they were from Paris and flying to Genting Highland. Yup, proud to be Bentong people when Paris people know your hometown. :P

So the first up on the stage will be Ukrainian comedian Oleksii Krasnykh. A graduate of the Variety and Circus Academy of Ukraine in Kiev, Krasnykh won the Grand Prix of international clown festival Comediada in 2015 and is renowned for his amazing talent in pantomime and sound imitation. Having traveled the world with his one man show ‘Superstar’, Krasnykh now joins the cast of IMAGINATRICKS as the resident clown, entertaining audiences with a comedy sketch routine whose appeal transcends language and geographical barriers. Krasnykh entertain the audience so much and I love how he managed to capture audience attention even though we don't speak France right? 

Aleksander Popov and Elena Efaeva

Skating onto the stage next will be ice skaters Aleksander Popov and Elena Efaeva. Former Junior Champion Popov and Efaeva have both represented Russia on an international level at global ice-skating championships with skills that have amazed audiences worldwide. Together, they have devised a beautiful and passionate Ice Skating Adagio routine for IMAGINATRICKS that is equal parts poetically beguiling and technically demanding. During this beautiful performance, I remember the singer sang and the lyrics was "j't'aime" means I love you. And that the only word I could understand from that song. LOL

Face Team with their basketball action

Popular depiction of basketball usually centers around the United States of America, but the sport is also incredibly popular in Central and Eastern Europe. Hailing from Hungary is Face Team, the world’s first and only acrobatic sports theatre. Formed in 2004 and reaching the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent Series 6, the Guinness World Record-achieving basketball acrobatic team is sending Bálint Huszár, Ádám Gyujtó, Kerim Daghistani, Talán Tóth, Dénes Martsa and Tamás Felföldi for the IMAGINATRICKS show at Resorts World Genting. With their history in NBA and FIBA events, as well as international theatrical festivals, Face Team performing a choreographed set showing off their acrobatic slam dunk and freestyle basket juggling skills set to a rocking, pumping soundtrack. 

The Gerlings

After a fun basketball show, we had an adrenaline pumping show. From the sultry continent of Latin America comes a death-defying performance. Hailing from Colombia, the award-winning acrobatic Gerlings troupe brings miracles high above the stage with an amazing Highwire act. Twelve members of the troupe take to the sky high above the Genting International Showroom stage, preparing to performs feats like running, dancing, jumping, rope skipping, bicycle riding, chair balancing or – most astounding of all – a balancing human pyramid on nothing by a thin wire. It was a breath-taking, it was a startling and astonishing to see what the acrobats of The Gerlings can do… which is a testament to the limits of human physical achievement, willpower and imagination.

The Gerlings 

And finally, audiences should continue to look up as The Gerlings regroup with their Wheel of Suspense show to IMAGINATRICKs. Four members of The Gerlings risk their lives to showcase impossible features on a rolling double-wheel contraption called the Wheel of Suspense, balancing themselves precariously on rotating thin strips of metals while performing jumps, cartwheels, somersaults, handstands and more. It is an act that has won The Gerlings gold medals at the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival and the Wujiao International Circus Festival in 2017. Bravo to the team who made me realize they are many possibilities in this world can be done if we had interest and spirit to do it.
