Encircled within this large metal hoop, the artist propels the apparatus to create continuous movement with acrobatic flair. The simplicity of the Cyr wheel’s line—a pure circle—sets off the intricate and energetic performance that relies on balance and control to create a seamless performance.

The wheel rolls into place in what was the living room, and the artistcarries it through a series of rolls, twists, and turns that defy explanation. It flips from side to side, and returns to a straight vertical. It rolls across the stage at dizzying speeds. He guides this huge apparatus through varying tricks in a display of athleticism unlike anything seen before.
