considered regular things have you ever heard the word. so you know what that is they wrote anyone they mad on the role and. all that well 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 they are easy going boys and girls that's 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 which is to begin with one more time. your bell is sticking out. this wasn't my idea it was a berlin university student as to it sure and who brought it to st petersburg. actually the concept behind the absolute circus was for graduation project. and the university students can go anywhere in the world to set up a project that was how the circus was created. at 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 now but it will get us

inside and i want social workers bring them to us sometimes our friends call and say we know who he got and he's just what we need company at him one popcorn get to be right it's just that it's the police brought me here and i played football and tennis at first and then i heard about the circus because i didn't take it seriously but came to have a look anyway. i saw kids who were really doing something so i decided to try me and i really liked it i even brought my sister and two friends here but all that's just. not to be true it was look at the audience sees my life is pointless. florins you it's fine it's fine as a 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 grab it 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. there's nothing 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 it's. own will be what's typical in street culture isn't acceptable and that it's still a 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. and it's not that i

broke i think i wanted it myself. because we always choose what we identified. this song i allowed myself to be weak. would be more. of a 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. 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 hurt i says the kids and to this room they turn into actors that he's got that they're not children anymore the professionals who play a role in the performance i always tell them they should leave their problems behind that door did some way during rehearsals we were 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 and the opes a circus 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 imagine 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 mr stop him looked into her eyes plucked up the courage and spoke to her so we've been going out 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 why should my more time. than that. 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 lawyers acrobatic things.

i came here for the project and some assume first because we met five years ago. you know superstitious about it and i was very controlled by the program by the children in the state and i want to learn recently. my running to say dumb cameron. but. there was there was. postman so. i've worked with a lot before but they were all like normal kept or they are also normal there are. yeah but it's r.k. 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 modern are difficult family is when they hear it's a little easier the moment sometimes you get to know it that they react different

than other kids sometimes. oh they don't want anything they really don't want to see you can't if them to do things. that. she loves and i want to be just as homeowners show volunteers from germany have been coming here almost since the beginning of st me helpful because every time they bring a breath of fresh air and new stories often they take on a lot of responsibilities to me. now we have two volunteers christina and evelyn and he's helping with smaller kids to. we her softly. 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 team that from france and our friends from finland and the last good team will also be here we. will be there two. days will be very busy. we're 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 to. take down with the yes we'll try well both clearly go yes they are let's get to work on the let's stop filming. please it was a. very hard to make i. want to get on here

a lot have never had sex with her make her look. look look. look look look look. look. look look. look look look look. look look look. look look look. the be

. the big. the big the see. the first trip and i predict the future. the binary foreigners twitter. and instagram.

dramas that can't be ignored to. stories others refuse to notice. places change the world lights never. told picture of today's blog. from around the globe. up to. fifty. 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 environment and sometimes they give money but it's not about.

the no one thing i have told him something and if anything happens to him his family or he has financial difficulties he can go on the street with his hands on a living with his act and there'll be no shame in. yes i believe everything you do comes back to you if you heard 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 when 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 did in the end and beat me badly. so everything comes back like

a boomerang it's. past my thing and i think. the constant. and seven and then we have a mad scene at the venue bench and main germany on novak in different places and. every time we speak that yes we should meet we should 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. the biggest difference between cell 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 to. come to god and 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. than a us want to lose you 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 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 the thing about the city. i don't know it from home i did not from any of the plays let's just. to sit up on the roof and see everything just like you feel sort of free and i really love mom. 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 a little longer because i really got so long i can't stand. people

when i retire with children. it's it's only for training and then they go home after training day stained suitcase and so i speak with them i play with them i'm much closer to a better. 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. billie's 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 on move away just sochi maybe more than sort of on the road 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. why should these guys already have some experience in 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 see a player who is 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 machine that's that's what triggers an internal conflict in you which is getting through it is really difficult for them they have to make

a choice they want can you go and they can either go out with this experience and these muscles and become funds in the street or develop themselves as artists which . this is my audience you know i'll tell you one thing i'm very scared whatever you may think i'm actually very scared are you scared to. say. good luck to everyone. so what do you wish me luck think what do you wish for and so they should love. what do you wish me this lack of love yes indeed

luck is what i believe. yeah 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 human. thought 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 cap with ears like a bear skin and i think glasses still 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 in every before 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 shift and try to perform a trick. you don't call children and teenagers need adrenaline 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 there say. thank. you. last summer for graduates who and all i could would have become skinheads and bugs will turn into regular people eager to think and develop and make up most to tell us 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 is that. i didn't you come. this is alexei. my mum'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. it was magic and for me it was much more than just a festival which. all in all it was cool. they look like bounty islands where the local can enjoy the sun and the ocean. but what was buried here years ago. means these people are suffering the consequences. how much more poison lies on the ground. behind this zone there is what we call the

callet bank on which there is a deposit of plutonium left by security test which caused the dispersion of radium you clyde's despite previous cleaning efforts there remains a deposit of a little less than two kilos of plutonium stuck in the rock and the coral reef about ten meters down. tests a never ending legacy. i think. we're going to go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy trek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked lying handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers
