Experience
Tight Wire/Slack Wire


Reminiscent of a young girl thoughtfully playing out her game of hopscotch, the artist is a study in nimble, dexterity and relaxed grace. Balanced on a wire measuring less than two centimeters in diameter, no one breaks her concentration or disturbs the lively pace of her intricate footwork for she is in a world which only she commands.

The "Tight Wire" performance made its first appearance during the Japanese Tour in 1996 and continued through Hong Kong that same year. The act was performed by Molly Saudek, a young artist from the United States, and was not continued when Alegréa went to Europe (1997-1998).

When Alegréa returned to Japan/Hong Kong in 2004-2005 (as Alegréa 2), extra elements were once again added into the show. One of those was a "Slack Wire" act performed by Yang Huang, a young artist from China. When Alegréa moved on to Europe for the second time (2006-2007), Slack Wire did not continue.
