Aerial Acrobatics
• A Piece of Heaven on Earth •
The aerial hoop (also known as the lyra or aerial ring) is a circular steel apparatus (resembling a hula hoop) suspended from the ceiling, on which circus artists perform aerial acrobatics. It can be used static, spinning, or swinging. Tricks that can be performed include the Candlestick, Bird's Nest and Crescent Moon.
When we talk about Aerial Silks, in fact, we are talking about an acrobatic discipline. The athletes involved in this exercise perform spectacular and scenic movements. On top of that, also the height at which everything happens makes everything even more spectacular: from 4 to 10 meters from the ground. A few meters of Silky fabrics fixed to a hook are enough to give life to a magic show.
