1. Wow! How are the people in the background not watching this?

[Hamlette]

17. exactly my question!

however, at the very end you notice this is an installation. I thought he was doing it with a portable walking stick. Since it is installed my guess is people perform on the apparatus all the time.

23. They've probably seen him do this routine many times.

It looks like they're back stage before a performance.

[Irish_Dem]

2. No one around him is even looking at this jaw dropping performance.

Like they see him do this every day.

7. Amazing! nt

[MontanaMama]

3. Humans

can be such a lovely species.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Humans can be so exquisitely and heart-achingly sublime.

4. Amazinly beautiful. That could be an Olympic gymnastic event.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

5. I agree!!

[SWBTATTReg]

6. Wow. Just another damn good reason to support the Arts, etc. in this Country, where people

literally spend their life to the Arts, and bringing all of us such wonderful performances. Man, I am still hurting from watching this!

[Marie Marie]

8. I could do that too - I just choose not to.

[Irish_Dem]

9. I would have to have my orthopedic surgeons standing by with pins and rods by the handful.

[SeattleVet]

14. Oh, I could definitely do that.

Not the thing the guy in front is doing...more like the 'just standing around' that the others are doing.

[MFM008]

10. i have enough trouble using a cane from a

standing position let alone doing gymnastics of the head of one.........

[3catwoman3]

12. The fluidity of that...

...is astonishing.

[Tanuki]

13. There were moments when he literally looked as if he were swimming through the air!

[LittleGirl]

15. WOW that was amazing. Thanks for sharing eom

[Laffy Kat]

16. Now THAT's an athlete.

[Tess49]

18. Pretty sure I would just fall on my head. n/t

19. For me, a core workout means...

getting the cream filling out of a Ding Dong before I the rest of it.

20. Cirque de Soleil

that is probably why no one is watching him - they are all so talented.
This though is beautiful. He looks like he lives in the sea.

[Silver Gaia]

21. He works for Cirque du Soleil!

I thought this looked like their kind of dance and was curious, so I googled him. Yup. He's been with them since 2014.

I saw them a year ago in late February, right before the pandemic hit. We thought about staying home because of the rumors we were hearing, but I wanted to see this sooooooo bad, so we very carefully went to the show. So amazing! Beautiful! If you love this and you've never seen them, I hope you can see them someday.

Thank you for this video that reminded me of a wondrous experience!

[myccrider]

27. I saw them perform live 40 years ago.

(Obviously not the same people ) They were incredible way back then, too. I also watch them whenever there’s a tv special. I love the marriage of art and athletic ability.

[soothsayer]

22. Remarkable. Makes me wonder what low-gravity ballet would be like

Neato

[lillypaddle]

24. He is swimming in air

[Laha]

25. That is delightful

I wish I could have a fraction of the skill and talent he has one day.

[Harker]

26. And I just neutered myself. n/t
