Swiss Cup Zurich goes to Young Stage International Circus Festival in Basel
31.05.2010
Last Friday on May 28, 2010, the Swiss Cup Zurich organization committee took a seat at the Young Stage International Circus Festival in Basel. (more details under www.youngstage.ch) The main goal of the festival is to give young talent a chance to show their skills and encourage the acquisition of future engagements. The Swiss Cup supported this event with some prize money.
Aside from visiting the festival and presenting the prize money to the winner, the organization committee also want to choose an artist for the Show Act to perform at the Swiss Cup Zurich 2010. The lucky winner is the 21 year old Swiss “Roue Cyr” artist Maxime Pythoud. His performance is done on a so-called “Roue Cyr” which is a wheel similar to a gymwheel. At this time there are very few artists who perform on this piece of equipment. His number is fresh, original and shows a high level of skill – something that goes perfectly with world class gymnastics.
Aside from the Swiss Cup prize, this young artist also was awarded the “Bronzene Stern”. The organization committee hopes that Maxime Pythoud will be able to take this once in a lifetime chance and perform for the Swiss Cup Zurich audience on October 31, 2010 in the Zurich Hallenstadion.
Details will follow shortly.
