Experience
Flying Trapeze


Four pendulum-like swings, on two different levels, carry a team of perfectly synchronized aerialists 53 feet above the stage. This innovative bi-level rigging enables the trapezists to create a visually arresting exhibition of rhythm and athleticism. Timing is key when all four trapezes are swinging in tandem and the aerialists switch places - barely inches away from colliding.

With four pendulum like swings on two different levels, they'll carry a team of synchronized artists about 53 feet above stage level. Catchers and jumpers performing their air-summersaults to perfection is not only eye catching, but a heart-stopper! Below them, L’Oiseau courts a small flower, only to have it taken away by the Stroller in the green hat. She tries desperately to win its return, but Le Pomeneur refuses. Instead he attempts to give it to those around him.
