| LA NOUBA |
Hi! I would like to tell about my work place. I already told you that I work at Cirque du Soleil in the show La Nouba. La Nouba has 64 artists including 2 singers and 6 musicians. Our team is international. There are artists from USA, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Great Britain, Japan, Canada, France, Poland, Mexico, Brazil, China, and Australia. English and French are two official communication languages in Cirque du Soleil; English of course is first and French because the main residency of the company is situated in Montreal, in French speaking province Quebec, Canada. However, at work we have our own language the mix of Russian, English and other languages. Because our show has many Russian speaking artists, I speak Russian most of the time. Even our powertrack captain, the American guy, speaks Russian very well. Many times we have social events in the circus like Birthday and Christmas party, Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, anniversaries, golf competition, beach gathering, etc. I love when we are gathering together and having fun. We bring our own jokes to the conversations; sometimes the jokes after translation from original language don’t make any sense, but it is funny anyway.
It sounds like we have fun all the time, but it only seems like that. We work physically, and do many hard tricks. It demands a lot of concentration every day. That is why we have a lot of injuries and microtraumas. We have 3 physiotherapists who take care of us all the time. For example, if I have some medical issue I can sign up for the treatment or massage. I think it is big privilege compared to other circus companies. We do 10 shows a week, plus we have 2 practices and dance cleanings on the stage very often. Even now I have to run to the stage to practice for my perfection, and of course, show quality. We are hard workers. That is why our show already celebrated 12th anniversary.
Here is a new commercial of the show which was filmed couple months ago. It just came on a big screen of the TV in front of the circus building. At 2 minutes and 1 second I do my trick the triple column:

| Birthday Anniversary of our clown Sergey |

| Beach gathering |

| Cinco de Mayo |
