Who is Oleksandr Yenivatov?
Oleksandr Yenivatov is a Ukrainian contortionist who currently resides in France. His 'frog' persona was inspired by the great Régisseur Valentin Gneouchev, whom he learned from at the Nikouline Circus in Moscow. He created this performance in 2001, and it has never stopped evolving with additional comedy, choreography, and new exercises. He received a gold medal at the European Circus Festival in Belgium and a bronze medal at the Festival du Cirque de Demain in Paris. Furthermore, he appeared on several TV shows, including 'Talents,' where he was a finalist in Germany and France, a semi-finalist in Russia, and a guest in Japan, China, Spain, and the United Kingdom. He also appeared on the Italian television show 'Tu si que vales.'
The judges chose ten performances from the previous two shows, including the Golden Buzzer acts. Avery Dixon, 21, got the Golden Buzzer from Terry Crews in the first episode after playing 'Try a Little Tenderness' by Otis Redding on his saxophone.
