The Troupe Zola consists of nine young performers from Mongolia, in central Asia. Members of the Mongolian State Circus, the troupe Zola epitomizes the most ancient traditions of the Mongolian Circus. Their spectacular bascule number has already earned them a series of world records; the most significant parts of this performance, both from a technical and a riskiness point of view are: a backwards somersault onto a four-man column to create a column of five performers, a triple backwards somersault into a chair on a pole and a quintuple backwards somersault.

The Troupe Zola presents an additional banquine number characterized by choreography, music and costumes that evoke their home country, Mongolia. In this acrobatic discipline, the arms of the performers replace the bounce boards, and thanks to the impetus provided by them, the flyers in the group take off and execute their complex aerial somersaults: a double reverse somersault onto a three-man column and a backwards somersault onto a four-man column from the banquine are noteworthy elements in this performance.

They will appear as part of the performance roster of the City of Latina Circus Festival next month. Photo courtesy of the Festival.
