Sebrinah Yeo August 01, 2018 0

SWISS DREAM CIRCUS is coming to Desa ParkCity (Carpark 3, Plaza Arkadia) from 17th Aug to 9th Sept 2018. This is definitely a great time to come and bring your family and your children to come and explore the wonders of this years Circus show; It will be an artistic spectacle that will allow you to dream and be enchanted as you immerse yourself in a world full of amazing wonders and fun-filled emotions!

The line-ups of the internationally acclaimed performers from all over the world will be here to take you on a journey full of dreams, fantasies and take you beyond your wildest imaginations!

Evgenia (Violinist & Songstress) from Russia. For the first time the Swiss Dream Circus presents a violinist. The combination of live violin and harmonic performance opens up completely new possibilities to add to the charm of the show. Evgenia will also inspire you with her beautiful voice, as she enchants you with her violin.

Isabela Pessolano (Aerial Ring) Venezuela. For the first time, Swiss Dream Circus combines two different branches of the arts into a beautiful duet. Be enchanted as Isabela floats in the air while

she is accompanied by Evgenia’s enchanting violin playing. An awesome visual treat that makes you forget just how much power the artists need to make it look so harmonious.

Yurie Basiul (Handstand Act) Moldova. Yurie Basiul is a shooting star in the circus art industry and has already enchanted the audience with his "dream in white" on many major stages. He astounds the audience with his physical strength. His movements seem weightless, a result of years of hard training. It just looks so easy. I'm definitely ready to be blown away.

Maria & Alex (Pole Act) Romania. A great pole act is one that is both smooth and graceful. This artistic discipline is particularly difficult and requires enormous power and strength. These two award-winning Romanian artists are true masters of their craft and enchant their audience with a loving and seemingly effortless staging. It's even breathtaking from watching the picture.

Clown Tirro (Clown) Venezuela. South American Clown Tirro has spread laughter and joy throughout many countries in his 10 year career. Come and see his effortless interaction with the crowd and be tickled by his funny antics.

Igor & Tatiana (Knife Throwing Act) Russia. Real life couple Tatiana & Igor like to do “dangerous things” together. This is their first time in Asia and they are looking forward to amaze the Malaysian

audience.

Isabela & Ernesto (Cradle Act) Venezuela. This Venezuelan duo have dedicated their art to a very special prop – the Russian Cradle. Unbelievable jumps are performed by Isabela but she

always lands safely in the trusty arms of Ernesto. Trust and precision are extremely necessary to perform this act. In the past, they have performed primarily in South America and are looking forward to show-off their skills for the first time in Malaysia.

Jean (Drone Comedy) France. Jean has many artistic talents and one is certainly his humorous side. Jean and his drone. A funny parody between man and machine.

Duo Romance (Aerial act) Romania. "We are proud that we were able to secure this award-winning couple from the Romanian State Circus Globus to our show. With amazing power and elegance they present a wonderful act which combines sensuality with just the right amount of risk – creating an unforgettable “Love Story” in the air." Get ready to be mesmerized by this amazing couple as they counterbalance gravity with their impressive figures in the circus dome.

Flames & Co (Diabolo) France. Jean and Morgan, the French duo, amaze with their virtuoso diabolo act. Awarded at the Festival International du Cirque du Loir-et-Cher in France and now after a guest appearance in Switzerland they are now on tour with Swiss Dream Circus. An old Chinese toy has encouraged them to create a fantastic performance. It is magical when the burning diabolo flies high in the circus dome. A mix of dance and incredible moves make this act a very special experience.

Trio Naumov (Russian Bar) Russia. This exceptional award-winning trio was once part of world-renowned Cirque du Soleil. Their main apparatus is the Russian Bar – a thin fibreglass

bar that supports one while resting on the shoulders of strong porters. Don’t miss their legendary triple somersault that is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat.

A good circus is one that leaves an impact and mesmerizes the audiences through the artists in the ring, that not only does their job with perfection but lives for what they do and conveys emotions through their actions! For Swiss Dream Circus, it is their passion to create a great Circus experience of exceptional quality that is fun, entertaining and remembered for, for everyone!

Marco Baumgartner - Founder & Producer & Ismail Stork - Marketing & Organization

Yoyo The Clown

Sebrinah Yeo October 18, 2009 0

Malaysia's very own "YoYo The Clown"! You'll see him at parties, functions, events and Genting Highlands! Today Sebrinah will bring you with an exclusive interview with "YoYo The Clown"! Here goes...

It was 2.15pm when Sebrinah reached the doorstep of "Yoyo The Clown", a friendly guy, filled with enthusiasm, fun and laughter. Always cracking up jokes every now and then and never stops being down-to-earth all at the same time.

Sebrinah: Good afternoon, Yoyo! It's a pleasure meeting you!
Yoyo : Afternoon to you too young lady and pleasure meeting you too.

Sebrinah : I was amazed by the Mardi Gras Parade last seen on Sunday, 12th July 2009 at Genting Highlands! I was awed in excitement and who did it? I mean who came up with the idea?
Yoyo : Genting Highlands of course. I did help out bringing in the people to for the performances like the Magical Clown Show, Fire Dance Show, Mascot Stage Show and the list goes on (chuckles)

Sebrinah : (laughs) Amazing! AND the list goes on? Such as? I'm interested, tell us more, it's always good to know!
Yoyo : (grins) Well I had people to come in to dress up in rainbow-coloured costumes, masquerade masks, clowns putting on cheeky faces, stilt walkers, magicians, fire-eating tribal groups (my favourite) and characters from 1001 Nights of Arabia.

Sebrinah : Wow! No wonder the parade was lively and colorful AND exciting! I mean, Genting always comes up with fabulous ideas over the years and this is one parade worth mentioning! I'm lucky to interview you right at this moment! You're Genting Highlands very own clown, aren't you?
Yoyo : Well, I've been with Genting Highlands for 8 - 9 years now and it just keeps getting better (chuckles)

Sebrinah : And it's great to know that too! But 8 - 9 years?! How long have you been in this business?
Yoyo : In Malaysia, 16 years and overseas 11 years.

Sebrinah : A total of 27 years and how did it began?
Yoyo : I actually started at the International Shrine Clown Association (ISCA) of North America since 1983. I was also a member at the NorthEast Shrine Clown Association (NESCA) and I belong to The Northern Clowns of Cairo Temple, Rutland VT.

Sebrinah : So how long did you live abroad and decided to come to Malaysia to make it big here?
Yoyo : I lived in Vermont for 11 years or so, volunteering with the Shriners, helping out at charity for 22 hospitals for children before moving back home to Malaysia in the 90s.

Sebrinah : When you came back to Malaysia, your first job was Genting Highlands?
Yoyo : (laughs) No, not really. You see, the moment I came back to Malaysia, there wasn't much talent in the clowning business here. So I started the balloon sculpture until today and worked in some hotels like Putra Jaya Marriot Hotel, Sunway Lagoon, Sunway Pyramid, parties, functions, private and company events and now Genting Highlands.

Sebrinah: That's great! And tell us, besides the clown and balloon sculpture, are there anything else that helped you expand your business in Malaysia?
Yoyo : Of course (grins), I love to help scout for entertainers like mentioned above such as the magicians, clowns, mimes, santa clause, God Of Prosperity, stilt walkers, diablo performers and all kinds of artists.

Sebrinah : What's your specialty in all that?
Yoyo : Balloon sculpture (smiles). I can make all kinds of balloons at special requests. It takes time and money but it's worth it. I can make a dragon so real, you might just want to put in on display and try not to burst it (laughs)

Sebrinah : (laughs) That is amazing! Well tell me more about Mardi Gras Parade. I mean besides the people what about the props?
Yoyo : Besides supplying most of the entertainers for Genting, I lliase a lot with them (Genting) and supply most of the costumes because we make them ourselves even the make up is done by us and trainings I will provide at the same time.

Sebrinah : Cool! You're like an all-rounder! It's great to know. Besides Mardi Gras Parade, other events that we can spot you in?
Yoyo : (chuckles) We have events, Diablo events and we even get a group to train the public free-of-charge (FOC). Students will flock by whenever it's a school holiday and they will come and will be eager to learn the Diablo.

Sebrinah : Diablo? You caught me there. I'm clueless, fill me in?
Yoyo : (laughs) Well I won't be surprised. You see, Diablo is a chinese yo-yo also known as "Chě Líng", we get performers from Malaysia to come to Genting Highlands and compete and the Best performance and selected participants gets to go to Taiwan, China to win competition and prizes. Some are even hired by Genting Highland to come and perform during the festival and holiday season and all the best players will group on 2 days.

Sebrinah : 2 days? Is it soon? What's the update from Genting Highlands this coming holiday?
Yoyo : (smiles) You guessed it right, it was Genting's innovative idea to have this Diablo competition for social purposes known worldwide many many years ago and this will be the first "National Diablo Competition" in Genting Highlands for Malaysians.

Sebrinah : The first! This is exclusive! Tell us more!
Yoyo : (laughs) Well, it's just around the corner. On the 19th - 20th December 2009, the "National Diablo Competition" will be official held at Genting Highlands and we expect up to 80 participants all over Malaysia during this 2 day event. There'll be qualified judges and I'm doing my part to help out in this event as much as I can for Genting Highlands.

Sebrinah : You sure work hard! Genting Highlands is so lucky to have you on their side. And I realize time is almost up when we're "chatting" (giggles). It's so great to meet you and a wonderful experience it is!
Yoyo : (chuckles) You're pretty much exciting yourself. It's great to meet you too.

Sebrinah : Why thank you. I think I'll be headed back for now. I hope to very much hear more of you and the happenings and buzz in Genting Highlands.
Yoyo : You're welcome and same with Ratianda. Keep me posted on the latest updates (smiles).

Sebrinah : Thanks again.

Hey guys! It's me Sebrinah. I hope you all enjoyed this interview spot! I hope to bring you more! Well, do look out for it!
