Just … truly … breathtaking.

They have great balance… :open_mouth:

Its hard to do this act. But they made it very simple.

I know they are very skilled performers, but I do not like that version of such a classic, as I am a traditionalist when it comes to such things…

Indeed. Making art look that elegant and simple takes a great amount of work and practice.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful performance. I love circus or acrobatic ballet art, including aerial silks and the Cirque du Soleil. For me, it’s the way they can take something old and yet modernize it and transform it in ways that are new and stunning.
