Because you appear to think that this is a new and interesting act. I am surprised that Mr. Laliberte included it in one of his otherwise innovative and entertaining shows. It pains me to think that anyone as intelligent, attractive, with such wide ranging interests as you should be fooled. I really enjoy your work both here and on the Floss. Keep up the good work.
@Ken - Just because a particular acrobatic feat has been done before in the past shouldn't prevent it being done again. If that were the case we would run out of entertainment pretty damn quickly.
I've seen it a few times before too, at circuses in Ottawa (always the same family performing it). It's scary to watch, but definitely not invented by cirque.
Hate to say this but I saw that act when I was a kid 65 years ago.
