Description Performing breathtaking, high-flying acts in a 28-meter-high white dome, the acclaimed French company Les Arts Sauts presents its new work, Ola Kala.
An awe-inspiring aerial trapeze spectacle, the show blends acrobatic and technical feats in an elegantly surreal atmosphere charged with the exhilaration of vertigo. The thrill of danger is heightened by the company's use of a cross trapeze - there is a very real risk of collision, and the occasional performer may tumble to the safety net below. The action is accompanied by spectacular lighting and hypnotic live music performed by musicians suspended in space 12 metres above ground. Specially constructed deck chairs allow the audience a perfect view of the performers above as they fly and fall in perfect harmony. Les Arts Sauts' last show was hugely popular at the 2000 Festival, with the entire 15-night season sold out following opening night. Get in quick to secure your deckchair.
