Two figures create a living sculpture at the bottom of two silks, slowly they begin to unfold themselves and ascend to a trapeze. Coming together they start to perform a breathtaking aerial pas de deux. Beautiful choreography embraces heart-stopping moves as these strong, graceful performers keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
