all the guests can think about their accommodation like everyone should be comfortable. then we should finish the staging and rehearse the role it's a pity we don't have thirty six hours in a day then we'd have plenty of time for everything about. our words we're putting on the flying kids festival for the sixth time i thought we needed an event that would stir everyone up out of service or something to make people eager to work till midnight painting building and solving administrative problems across a festival seemed a good idea well also there were just one. life

conditions were tough that life was hard because a man's life was worthless murder and violence were considered very good things have you ever heard the word. so you know what that is they wrote to anyone they mad on the role and. yeah well that will after i had joined my school i was skipping classes for six months. i was dating a girl then and had no desire at all to study i just wanted to go out with her. so i had to repeat a year then i came here i think i'll finish this year and then try to join a circus school. strain your legs. push with your arms. and your but it also works is made up of kids from socially disadvantaged groups of

people their self-esteem is usually love and they don't have any relevant physical skills. i've almost done three because some of these guys sniff glue but they were very much they are easy going boys and girls very assertive. to teach them from scratch you first have to stab a report with them because if they're not willing to listen it will all be in vain to begin with. one more time. your bell is sticking out. this wasn't my idea it was a berlin university student asked it sure and who brought it to st petersburg actually the concept behind the absolute circus was her graduation project. and the university students can go anywhere in the world to set up a project that was how the circus was created. and our children come from disadvantaged backgrounds their children with various behavior

problems the disorders. we take new students once every three years we find most of our kids in st petersburg crisis centers. you know back nobody would get excited that i would social workers bring them to us sometimes our friends call and say we know who he done and he's just what you need come and get him on one popcorn dip be right it's just minutes the police brought me here and i played football and tennis at first and then i heard about the circus i didn't take it seriously but came to have a look anyway until i saw kids who were really doing something so i decided to try and i really liked it even brought my sister and two friends here that's just. not beating it was look at the audience sees my life is pointless.

floyd and sure it's fine it's fine as our play on don't ruin your own act. see how poor you guys remember your places i've got and are you running like a little rat like a rat if you want to go back and it should be like. this girl has just turned my life upside down and you're like hey dude should we go somewhere watch alone bomb bomb bomb. is that more expressive. that you've done or is facing a dilemma now i think you'll struggle with it for a couple of years he has to choose between behaviors its. own will be what's typical in street culture isn't acceptable and the excellent circus and the other is fine for us but wouldn't be tolerated on the street he has

to adopt one of them it's a difficult choice but it's important for him to make it. hang it's not that i broke i think i wanted it myself. because we always choose what we identified. this i allowed myself to be weak. at the board i'm talking about drugs. i took the wrong road and i thought i could leave it just as easily. go i was a fool i asked around then i made a choice because i saw that these people really wanted to help and i was turning my back on them it's bad. or bad about that horrid idea since the kids enter this room they turn into actors that they're not children anymore but professionals who play a role in the performance i always tell them they should leave their problems

behind that door during rehearsals we were good when we talk about what's happening in their lives after the rehearsal but when you're on stage you have to work there's certain rules and penalties because it's like a kid might be banned from the next week her still as a punishment if he steals from other kids it's most likely he'll be excluded from the circus. if he starts taking drugs again and comes here while he's high then the door will be closed to him. i play a street cleaner who's in love with a waitress. in one of the scenes i imagined that my dream is the girl i'm in love with. it was different in real life i was writing on the metro and so a girl and we were just looking at each other for half an hour she missed her stop

and looked into her eyes plucked up the courage and spoke to her it's like we've been going out for three months now. and the circus i've gained lots of experience that i couldn't get anywhere else and never had that before. people offer you a lot and you choose whether or not you accept it you just have to listen to older people who work with you then everything will be fine. no i should my more time. and. i really wanted to go to

russia and get to know what's happening here and i really wanted to help the kids because. i really like gymnastics and circus and the things. i came here for the project some a surprise because we met five years ago. you know superstitious about it and i was very impressed by the progress by the children in the state and i want to or nurse in language. my running to save them cameron bianco you going to your back. there was there were. those moves so. i've worked with a lot before but they were all like normal kept more than also normal there. yeah but it's ok sometimes it's difficult but in the meantime when they're here you

don't really know that they're different that they come from i don't know or difficult family is when they hear it's a little more serious moments sometimes you get to know it that they react different than other kids sometimes. oh if they don't want anything they really don't want it you can't if them to do things. that. she loves and i will be right back just so on our show volunteers from germany have been coming here almost since the beginning of the stream me helpful because every time they bring a breath of fresh air and new stories the stories often they take on a lot of responsibilities to me it's just. now we have two volunteers christina and. me is helping with smaller kids to. we her source and. christina doesn't only help with classes but with political ration is for the festival an

accommodation for the guests. who will be playing the workshops and performances outside the various teams will perform inside the tent. there will be a tunnel from france and our friends from finland and the last good team will also be here we. will be there to day today will be very busy. getting ready for the festival look we have cool new t. shirts let's go to the tent now. are you taking pictures let me see so are you afraid. just a little of course. takedowns with the yes we'll try well. yes they are let's get to work on the let's start filming.

when you talk about working with the society of one who do you think should be in charge of the time may we try to use them to tell the truth the people shouldn't be the government's this is not the issue about right or left it's an issue about fundamentalists more extremist me. so what we need to avoid these hate speech is all. this excessive radicalization that can lead to even terrorist. interview.

when i don't have anything to do i often put on street performances i do it alone

or call the guys and we perform together i enjoy it people watch an inspired me and sometimes they give money but it's not about. well i know one thing i have told him something and if god forbid anything happens to him or his family or he has financial difficulties he can go on the street with his hands on a living with his act and they'll be no shame in. yes i believe everything you do comes back to you if you hurt someone or did something bad it will come back to me i caused a lot of trouble i broke into apartments and stole things from people. so i was once going home from school when a guy approached me and ordered me to give him my phone i refused and he hit me in the face hit him back and we started fighting then two of his friends joined the fight i just stood up every time so that they could knock me down of course they

didn't me and beat me badly. so everything comes back like a boomerang it's. my thing and i think in two thousand and seven and then we had matt. sending germany on novak in different places and. every time we speak that yes we should need to say do projects together.

i meant don't sell a circus in london seven years ago and this is the sixth time i'm at the festival of union st petersburg and. can. keep. the biggest difference between self-service and the ones that i know in europe is the fact that they have a very tight group and small and they're very committed to the project the social circles in general it's more like the circus being taken in so. so different institutions but here it's different the children come here and they become like a family so in that way it's very different. today

i want to live when i look at the audience i think the old look so nice so much to give them a bit of me i think about twenty percent of them have no idea what the oakland circus was so it's a yellow applies to almost every performance by explaining what kind of circus we are before the performance tomorrow i'll do the same in the us goes with. the horse also staying in the city. i don't know from home i did not from any of the plays and so just to sit up on the roof and say it. like. and i feel sorry for him and i really want. i'm going to go back to germany in a free weights and it's already like so close and i would really love to stay here

but longer because i really got so long they can't stand. people when i retire with children and yes it's only for training and then they go home to tear after training day stained suitcase and so i speak with them i play with them i'm much closer to them. way in the van and. yeah it's quite far away from the sick and that's what yeah annoys me the marist and i have such a long way to the six to the city center. police come here every day because it's just like you know every hour three police cars go around the block and pick up drug addicts. you know leads the way in terms of drug trafficking. people here killed here you can't go outside after ten without

a knife or a gun and i've got my friends so i'm not worried. ok i think after the army was all moved away to sochi maybe well then said one or two i'll have a rest then come back earn some money and go to europe for good i want them to new york that's where you would hope and i just need to serve in the army and everything will work out fine i'm sure of it. show you a trick. these guys already have some experience with the circus world introduces them to completely different experiences and values the world and they're tearing them apart. what they kids have had a taste of success they've come to grips with their own body c. ock the machine they have the energy and well developed muscles now. suddenly realize that they are strong and can use the strength on the street. it was this

mission that's that's what triggers an internal conflict a new question getting through it is really difficult for them do you think you may have to make a choice where one can you go and they can either go out with this experience and these muscles and become flags in the street or develop themselves as artists which . this is my audience but i'll tell you one thing i'm very scared whatever you may think i'm actually very scared are you scared.

and that's a good luck to everyone. so what do you wish me luck think so than what do you wish for and so would i should love. what do you wish me good luck with love yes indeed luck is what i need. the morning once in winter in a small bookshop i run across postcards by alexander. a look through them and saw something gentle kind open to everyone. who is

a set of postcards called a walk with my nephew. my guy and i instantly decided that i would adapt it into an interesting absoute little story consisting of several episodes. that i was looking at the nephew thinking of me where will i get such a boy no one in the group will match it to be a very strange character and that's when he started working with a group of special kids something i came to our classes mostly children with down syndrome. and one day the door opened and in came anton that was two years ago and he was even smaller then he's now national he wore a cute cap with ears like a bear suit and i think glasses show is the final piece of the puzzle. oh oh.

i don't like to write on the star so i could see he would develop it's the most important thing for us at the moment but it's even more important than school. he spends nights and days here he knows every character his lines and everywhere for months and practices at home every day. right here my heart misses a beat when they discover they can actually do something when they've just learned a difficult trick and try to perform at. their own children and teenagers need

agreement to do all it's crucial for them if they're to face danger possible. almost they can find it out on the street or hear the circus the choice is theirs. thank. you. rush some of our graduates who and all i could would have become skinheads and dogs will turn into great to live people eager to think and develop and make up most of what some of our kids choose a different destiny is incredibly important to me to want to meet or.

thank. you. hello i'm on my way back from the festival that just ended. i'm going into my apartment. ted to sleep alexei. i was at the festival. do you know how much you missed disney has it what didn't you come. to z's alexei.

my mom's at work and dad's asleep is just back from work and mind. you can see that i that i really enjoyed the festival which. it was magic and for me it was much more than just a festival which. all in all it was cool. nelson mandela he was almost universally considered one of the greatest individuals of our time he was a prisoner of conscience and a living symbol conquering versity however he was far more complex than most mainstream media are willing to admit mandela's legacy is so much more than merely being a figure of inspiration and reconciliation. they

look like. the ocean. years ago. these people are suffering the consequences. how much more poison lies on the ground. behind this zone there is what we call the bank on which there is a deposit of plutonium left by security test which caused the dispersion of radio nuclides despite previous cleaning efforts there remains a deposit of a little less than two kilos of plutonium stuck in the rock the coral reef about ten metres down. a never ending legacy. i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just

knew that everything would be fine for some reason we were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back how could he not come back the mere thought of it never crossed her mind. when the militants decided to try and break through to her new guinea above screaming grenade. explosion blew them all run his back toward us and it was all over all. we know that are calm rats on our commander won't leave us no matter how tough it gets we're team. getting was a senior in his military trio. he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more of just comrades would die he gave his own life to save us friends.
