Unicycles
(Apr.19.2012-Aug.04.2013; Nov.11.2016+)


Two artists enter on unicycles wearing hoop skirts of gold, weaving in and out of each other’s paths like the wind as they joyfully pirouette, dance and thrill the pageant participants.

Fast and furiously two young Arielles peddle their way across the stage in quick form, weaving in and out of each other's paths like the wind as they joyfully pirouette, dance and thrill the pageant participants. Their infectious smiles and quick-on-their-seat movements continue the energy of the show's opening, not to mention a number of fast-paced spins, walks and rubberized twists that make watching this duo spin about the stage a pleasure. The costumes of the two unicyclists are fitted with cages that hide their legs, in a reference to the aesthetics of the Spanish Golden Age. The cages (with a diameter of five feet and a height of two-and-a-half feet) are made of perforated material (which includes Kevlar – a thermoplastic polymer – and gold leaf) to allow the artists to see the unicycle seats. However, for better visual reference, the cages are like the hoop skirt of Alegría's White Singer. During their act the cages break into two pieces, announcing the start of the storm after which the budding love between Miranda and her suitor will be tested.
