Kevin Zandrac, 15, from Colombia, stretches before a performance on Thursday, March 26, 2009, in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas. Zandrac has been a contortionist in the Carson & Barnes Circus since he was an infant while his father Julio is the head tent engineer. Doctors have told him to stop contorting his body so extremely because eventually it will lead to long-term joint problems in the future. “I want to be in Cirque Du Soleil so I don’t care what the doctors think,” Zandrac said.
