Two flyers suspended by wrist straps glide gracefully above the stage,
performing original acrobatic figures in a synchronized display of precision and
power. With a double strap, the two artists meld midair, becoming one in a series
of striking acrobatic silhouettes.

The third of three aerial acts is a spectacle called the Aerial
Straps. Performed by Kevin and Andrew Atherton (from the United
Kingdom), they fly on the scene as one. But just as soon as they
catch your eye, they become two angels flying amongst the stars.
Their performance blends the skills needed for a Tissu, with the
demanding arts of the Banquine. You'll be amazed as this brotherly
duo soars from one end of the big top to the other, then returning
virtually to the same spot from which they left. Or, launching away
from one another and meeting in mid air! The Aerial Straps is a
powerful and yet very elegant performance.
