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.

In a ballet of perfect symmetry, wrapped in each other’s shadow then flying free, almost bursting the Grand Chapiteau itself, the twist – Castor and Pollux – perform aerial feats that Icarus could only dream of. The performance has a message: all this is possible, Icarus. Find the other half of your moon, become whole at last. Unite and the heavens will be yours for eternity.

Originally performed by Kevin and Andrew Atherton (from the United Kingdom), they appear on the scene as one. But just as soon as they catch your eye, they become two angels flying amongst the stars. 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!
