Equilibrist Nikolai Babanov

When a corporate program consists of a host, music and a banquet, by the third toast the audience starts glancing at their phones. That means it's missing an act that makes everyone look up from their plates and stop chatting. Equilibristics on chairs is exactly that case: silence arises on its own, without requests or announcements.

Nikolai Babanov works in the original genre. His specialty is equilibrist on chairs and balancing on bottles. He builds a tower of chairs, climbs on it, and performs handstands. He has performed on circus and theater stages, in sanatoriums and open venues, including in Sochi.

The difference is that the trick here doesn't look like a set of effects — it relies on physical work that is visible from any end of the hall. Ordinary office chairs stacked on top of each other turn into a structure where everything is held by balance, and the audience follows every movement of the artist because they understand: this is not editing. The act also reads well on an open venue — its size and height are enough to be seen from the far rows.

Performs in Sochi and other cities, works at corporate events, company anniversaries, presentations and New Year's parties. Leave your number — we'll check available dates and quote the fee.
