Experience
Duo Trapeze


In Dralion, two couples perform breathtaking acrobatic feats in unison and in turn on a double trapeze, with the catchers swinging back and forth. Double Trapeze is a unique act where the limits of the possible are pushed to the extreme.

The song "Spiritual Spiral" is used as a set up to the Double Trapeze act and once again characterizes a Middle Eastern theme with sitars and tabla drums providing the background for low range, nasally vocals. Performing on two identical instruments, the fliers will astound you with their quick jumps, flips and acrobatics. But nothing compares to the quick hand to feet to hand flips in mid air that are performed here!

With an array of strings, brass, and tympani, the Double Trapeze's song "Ninkou Latora" renders a classical music voicing. The shuffle beat, brass strikes, and the delirious string intonations attribute to a subconscious essence that matches the act's intensity. The act comes to a spectacular close when the artists release a stream of color from their grasps and a circular wall of greens and blues covers the stage. The intermission has begun.
