Experience
Aerial Straps


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.
