Circus from Feisworld

In this episode, I speak with Aerial Strap Artists from Cirque du Soleil, Andrew and Kevin Atherton. They are identical twin brothers born and raised in the UK. They were professional gymnasts for 17 years before transitioning to aerialists for Cirque du Soleil at the age of 24. In 2017, they were cast as headliner aerialists for the first Broadway and Cirque du Soleil collaboration called Paramour. This show is currently playing in Hamburg, Germany (as of September 2019).

Born and raised in Greece, educated and lived in the UK for 4 years, Eirini Tornesaki had been working with Cirque Du Soleil in the show KURIOS - Cabinet of Curiosities since January 2014, touring Canada and the United States.  Eirini is the original singer of KURIOS and performed the vocals on the soundtrack album recorded in Montreal and released in November 2014.

When KURIOS came to Boston in May 2016, I was eager to see it live. The music hit me right away. I saw a petit, beautiful woman singing in the background. Her costume so elegant, her voice so pure, and her presence so powerful.

Since then, Eirini made a decision that surprised many of us to leave Cirque du Soleil and pursued her master degree at the world-renowned Berklee School of Music. As of September 2019, Eirini became a professor for the Berklee Global Jazz Institute and Ensemble Department. We couldn't be more proud of her accomplishments and pursuit for music.
