Struggling to maintain balance in a stormy universe - the zebras constantly
realign themselves, hanging on until the very end. Resembling a playground jungle
gym, this giant aerial frame was created by Cirque du Soleil specialists to
facilitate choreography and gymnastics in an aerial space between the sky and the
water. Performed by the same group from the Bateau act, the entire number takes
place suspended in mid-air.
In a stormy universe, how do we keep our balance? How do we make sure we can
hang on until the very end? A flash of light and a boom of thunder bring forth a
storm. The name of the act simply means Cradle, or Suspended Cradle, and it is
the cradle that supports an amazing assortment of characters. And amongst the
rain filled universe a team of zebras, donned in black and white striped skins,
frolic about and take to the air trying to maintain their balance as a storm
thunders around them. The real treat comes while as it rains around them, the
zebra move from grid to grid, and the spectators move closer and closer to the
edge of their seats wondering if one will slip and fall.
