The artists Sergey Taëkin and Olga
Boudsilovich both descend from middle class families in Russia, they
graduated the well-known Russian Circus School in Moscow.
Sergey
studied between the
years 1975-82. In 1983, he created the actual act together with his wife Elena.
In 1984 they had their debut with the new act. After nine years of working
together, in 1993, Elena withdrew herself form the act.
Shortly
after, Sergey met Olga, a young student and at that time, a future
graduate from the Circus School in Moscow where she was thought acrobatics and
ballet between 1990-1994.
The idea
of building up Sergey's act together with him appealed to her. After one year of
hard training, the act was ready to be presented for an “exam committee”. As a
result, in winter 1994, Olga passed her final exam with the act and she received
her graduate diploma.
They
were instantly engaged at CIRCUS CONELLI Zurich,
Switzerland (December 1994-January 1995). During that engagement, Sergey
and Olga receive an invitation to appear at the XVIII
FESTIVAL MONDIAL DU CIRQUE DE DEMAIN
Paris, France, in January 1995. Having a
lot of success and fascinating the audience and the jury, they were awarded the
“Gold Medal” and the “Prix du President de la Republique”.
