Alexandre
and Vilen Naidenkine
Alexandre
and Vilen are the sons of Genia Naidenkine, the master clown heading Circus
Chimera's clown alley. That doesn't mean you should expect any silly shenanigans
from these two, oh no. For Alice in Wonderland, Alex and Vilen call forth
the legendary Jabberwock.
From Lewis Carroll's spooky rhymes
of a beast in the woods, they've translated a flying strap act where the two
of them form the mutating Jabberwock. Sometimes they hang suspended like
a spider in a web, then they're bounding and swinging like a gryphon, next they're
jetting across the ring like a squid. Ask them and they'll tell you they're
proud of bringing a thrill to the show, especially if they can prove that the
Naidenkines aren't a bunch of clowns. Genia still likes to think the apples
have fallen close to the tree since his sons are such crowd pleasers.
