The Funambule act takes place on a 90-foot, half-inch wide steel wire. With
remarkable balance and precision, a high wire walker ascends to a height of 34
feet above the stage as his partner descends from the theater's eighth level to
the fifth on a diagonal wire. The performers' breathtaking maneuvers include head
balancing, and death defying somersaults. Using two different types of bicycles,
one of the high wire walkers executes a wheelie and later crosses the wire while
carrying another artist on his shoulder. This amazing team is comprised of three
acrobats who are life-long students of the discipline.
None.
