Experience
Cloud Swing


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.
