How long has this Gymnaestrada stuff being going on? I assume it is a show or something kind of like Cirque du Soleil. I have seen references to it somewhere else but it was never explained what it is. Obviously the people are volunteers unlike the Cirque. It also reminds me of the sort of shows they put on at the opening and closing of the Olympics.

Crystal, it is MUCH bigger than an opening or closing ceremony. All the participants are volunteers. It goes on for days. It’s really amazing.
