Experience
{1988} Voltige


The excitement climbs a notch with the performance of the Andrews, two artists from Britain who execute a series of breathtaking acrobatics suspended in the air at the very top of the Big Top. This is thru "no holds barred" entertainment. With nothing but one another for support, they leap and spin far above the ground, holding the audience on the edge of its seats from beginning to end.

Andrew Watson and Jacqueline Williams work from a bar at the very top of the tent. Joined only at the wrist, they perform some dazzling aerial twirls and twists. Turnabout being fair play -- or, perhaps, this just being an age of sexual equality -- she gets her chance to dangle him in space. The climax comes with one of them -- I won't say which -- taking a startling leap into the void. The Watson-William tandem is one of the few doing Russian trapeze with neither safety net nor wire. Their movements are so graceful and effortless that it's hard to believe that gravity exists.
