A multiple and harmonic show is proposed by Carpa Azul of the Cuban National Circus, which started its 2011 summer tour in the municipality of Artemisa, capital of the province with the same name.

During the shows, 21 artists combine gymnastics, acrobatics, jumps, juggling, magic and other varieties in 10 different circus numbers, carried out by the duet Akroyali, the clown Chori, Cindy in the tense cable and the tightrope walker Blandy, among many others.

Over 700 people from Artemisa attend each day the circus proposal to see the dangerous work with a snake, the works with dogs and monkey and a cat that sometimes accompanies them, which according to Saily Barrios, called her attention because they were impressive, delicate and difficult performances.

The gymnast is also part of the quartet that works in the mast and is part of an acrobatic duet. She is taught by the acrobat Jorge De León Martínez and graduated from the National Circus School.
