Peruvian Scissors Dancer Leaping in Bishkek Village

by Katie Callahan

Bright noon light flattens shadows across a dusty courtyard in Bishkek where a Peruvian scissors dancer hangs suspended mid-air. The performer wears a vibrant red and yellow costume with wide, flared pants that flare outward as blades extend from the ankles in a sharp, dangerous arc. Behind the figure, gray and white cumulus clouds pile high against a pale blue sky, against the arid, mountainous terrain visible in the distance. The low angle emphasizes the height of the jump, making the dancer appear to float above rough cobblestones and weathered wooden fences. Sunlight reflects off the polished steel blades, creating thin, bright lines that cut through the warm tones of the traditional outfit and the dry, early summer earth.
