Trapeze and Spanish web techniques combine in the explosive and dangerous cloud swing. Spectators
thrill as she calmly carries off spectacular acrobatics, dives and contortions at a hellish pace. The trapeze artist
electrifies the audience, won over by her strength and virtuosity.

Another unique act to Quidam follows with the Cloud Swing. It is essentially a
trapeze of rope, there is no solid bar in the middle, and this performer
uses it in much the same way. It is a much more 'violent'
performance than that of the Vis-Versa, and plays an important
counterpoint to the slower elements of the show. At one extended
point of the swing, she seemingly falls off the trapeze,
attached only by a small guide-wire to her leg. But from the
audience's perspective it looks like she's falling off
completely. She regains her balance and continues flawlessly.
