Willy ElasTico's European tour ran into an unpleasant episode in Italy. Police in Verona detained the artist, a 29-year-old whose real name is William Orlando Cardoza Gonzalez. He works as a freestyle athlete and an artist of the original genre, the corner of variety performance reserved for unusual solo acts. A wider audience got to know him through the Latvian television talent contest Ir talants!, where he appeared as a contestant. Most people know him by his social media nickname rather than the name in his passport. The report offers no reason for the detention and no word on what happened afterward. Whatever took place in Verona, it came in the middle of a tour, when a detained performer risks missed dates and scrambled logistics.
