🎪 Meet the Cast: Smithsonian Folklife Festival 2026
Meet Urnaa! Uranbileg "Urnaa" Angarag was five years old when her grandparents took her to see the Mongolian National Circus. One contortion act later, her mind was made up. She auditioned at six, was accepted into the Mongolian National Circus School under legendary teacher Majigsuren Dashpuntsag, and was performing on stage by nine.
Twenty-five years and more than 30 countries later, Urnaa has performed with Cirque du Soleil, Teatro Zinzanni, and the Summer Circus Spectacular at The Ringling Museum, and her range covers contortion, hand balancing, aerial lyra, silks, chandelier, adagio, and archery contortion. She`s a finalist from Mongolia`s Got Talent, took first place at the 2020 Cirque Life international competition, earned bronze at the 2021 Princess Circus Festival, and is a national champion yoga athlete. She`s also a certified instructor who now leads contortion retreats around the world, from Japan to Mexico, passing Mongolian technique to the next generation.
This Labor Day weekend, she brings that artistry to the Rotunda stage at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Three shows daily, September 5–7. Free and open to the public!
