(SINGING) He's an executive producer on the Ellen show.
He works hard every day.
He's super duper awesome at what he does,
but he's average in every other way.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi, we're from the cast of Luzia by Cirque Du Soleil.
And I'm Andy.
And I'm going to circus with you people.
[LAUGHING]
All right.
Alexei's is our contortionist in the show.
And he's the most flexible man in the world.
In the world?
The simplest thing is the split.
And then you can go this way.
OK, yeah.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
The fold is how we call it.
Someone should-- I'm sure the first time,
someone helped you fold.
What I'm saying is, maybe you can help me fold.
You're a little bit self-centered, Alexei.
OK, go.
OK.
Is it enough?
Is that as far as you were?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
OK.
Oh that's your-- I thought that was your back!
Sorry.
I thought that was your ass.
I'm sorry.
I thought I was slapping his--
It's an honest mistake, Alexei.
I lost track exactly what was front and back.
I think we move on, because we're sort of dating now.
This is going into the big top.
So this is where the show actually happens.
What we have here is some of our hoop divers.
How do you feel about rolls, in general?
Not great.
A forward roll?
Like a somersault?
Yeah.
Oh, god.
I'm literally dizzy.
Come again.
[INAUDIBLE]
That's so, so good, so good.
Thank you.
You're going to jump like that before [INAUDIBLE]..
One, two, three.
Oh!
Oh, hi.
You should know I'm already seeing Alexei.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
Is there any perfor-- is there any activity at the circus
where I don't have to be intimate with another man?
Or they're all sort of that theme?
There are several.
OK.
Pull up, over, push.
That, I can do.
Awesome.
OK, we got it.
One.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
I almost had it.
We'll do a little variation.
You want to look up and back.
Up and back?
What do you--
Just to see where your pole is.
Oh, I see where it is.
One, two, three.
I just want you to hold me.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
That's good.
It's almost a split.
You're really good at it.
Bring me up!
Yep, going up.
And then you can play.
OK, what do you want, what?
Just play around.
OK, let's lower it.
All right, now we're in the wardrobe department.
Hi, Andy.
Hi.
I'm Ellen's idiot.
So, let's get you in costume, ready for a show.
What am I?
You'll see.
Your arms are going to go through there.
Come on out the front.
Lift up?
Yep.
You can stand up.
We've gone to a whole different place, here.
It's great.
This is-- what's this?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
This is not really supposed to be here.
This is a joke.
OK, then go like this for me, arms out.
Can we move this?
[LAUGHING] OK.
You're ready to go.
You can, kind of, do a cactus waddle.
Yeah.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[AUDIENCE CHEERING]
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
What are you guys talking about?
OK.
I'm acting.
No, I know, I'm acting.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
OK, I don't want to keep hitting you with my thing.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
And we keep walking.
Then we face them.
And after, we're going to look at the two girls.
Look at the two girls.
[APPLAUSE]
Thanks, Ellen.
Thanks to the people from Luzia here at Cirque du Soleil.
I've had a lot of fun.
I'll see you back at the studio, Ellen.
Hi, Ellen!
