Evangeline Kumar from Naitasiri and Savusavu, who continues to stun audiences during the VOU Fijian Flying Circus, with her incredible hair hang act solo for the first time in Fiji apart from walking the tightrope, says she always thinks of her late mother as she flies high during her acts.
While speaking on fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan, the VOU Circus Rehearsal Director, Kumar says it has taken a lot of hard work and perseverance to get to where they have reached.
Kumar says Tadra Kahani – The Dream Story Stage Show which was organized by Communications Fiji Limited, pulled her into the creative arts world from when she first performed for Cathedral Secondary School (now known as Sacred Heart College) when she was in Year 9 and 10 back in 2013 and 2014.
She said unfortunately Tadra Kahani had stopped, and she looked for other opportunities, and she started taking classes at VOU when she was in Year 12.
Kumar says her family let her follow her dreams and passion.
She says her family has been very supportive.
Kumar’s father is Anil Kumar who is from Naitasiri and her late mother Betty was from Savusavu.
