Thanks for the link James.Good luck to them in Dublin.

Yipee thanks for the link i must get tickets , i had given up hope of them comming here .
You just made my day

Here is the website for the Dublin fringe Festival

http://www.fringefest.com/

If you go to the pictures and move then to the Picture of the Skating Aratas and click to enlarge,

What do you think ?

Good luck Braygirl,you cant surely miss this

Wow they look great.Victor looks like a dish!

I think that this pic confirms our earlier observations of the Valentine's Day clip. IMO it is indeed Victor Arata but not Emilia. Maybe she is another member of the Arata family, or maybe she is married to Victor! But she is definitely not Emilia. Perhaps if someone is going to the show they might be able to confirm who she really is.

I had accepted 01215544078's comment without reservation already and I agree with you it does confirm things, it is Victor but not Emilia.

It will be interesting to see if someone will let us know after the show

I agree with you tudor rose,that is why I did not comment about the girl.It does not look like Emilia to me.

Having said that Emilia not long ago had a profile pic on her facebook with Victor in similar clothes.She has changed it now but it was there for a long time,infact she put it up around 22nd April when the valentine vid was uploaded on You Tube.

Braygirl may go to this festival,she lives in Dublin.

I thought about this post today and I think AH59,you really have nothing to apologize for. You linked the valentine vid in interest of this appreciation thread especially as it clear at least Victor is involved. IMO the issue lies with the people who uploaded it on You Tube who never mentioned that a known member of the Skating Aratas(Emilia) was not involved as was the case when she was performing with Kaly Saleh instead of Victor.

If something is on the internet it can be down loaded by anyone and linked anywhere. In this case the vid could have been down loaded from You Tube to the main forum with not so nice comments not even counting those who just read through the thread.

This could have happened with Jeremy's personal facebook not so long ago,it could have been downloaded,linked to forums or even sold to the media for 'lash' cash. I do not think anyone would have wanted to see something like that and I hope he knows what has happened here.

Oops sorry

I think that might be Victor's girlfriend. I could be wrong though.

Thanks James. Let us hope they are not booed in Dublin by Emilia's army of fans.It looks a bit queer having 'Skating Aratas without Emilia. If she is no longer involved it might be beneficial to consider re-branding the act eg Victor Arata and.........or Skating Aratas featuring.........

Thank James- for the easier link to the photo than the one I provided- it might keep the Fringe festival's bandwidth down a bit

I hope you have a great time braygirl and will look forward to reading your post.

Thanks i'm really looking forward to it

The strange thing is Emilia had a bunch of photos of herself and Victor with a similar background posted on her facebook account....they were dressed in skating gear and they looked like promo shots, i have one somewhere, i'll have to find it

Great to see you SneakyBoo I saw the photo on facebook. It will be good if you can get it over here.

Might be the room that Emilia calls the "Red room" in her house at 2:52

Quite a funny conversation between Emilia and Jeremy

Still quite a few videos available on youtube.

Publicity for the Skating Aratas in the Irish Times today



http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...249169501.html

"A bunch of returning acts will be joined by new performers, including: a Lycra-clad baritone, Le Gateau Chocolat; aerial poetry; and roller-skating double-act the Skating Aratas."

I have found a very OLD forum post.Does not mean much at this point in time,so please just take it at face value. But what has caught my eye is a reference to Digital Spy threads.Well,imo I dont think anyone here can say that the circus community does not read Arata threads on this forum.I think it is good though

Thank you for the link

This festival should really be wow with such publicity. Buy tickets on this link to see the Skating Aratas in Dublin. I cant wait for someone to post here and tell us about it.
