Aerial acrobatics

Prev | Home | Next

The new MIMA art gallery in Middlesbrough is due to open early next year, but this weekend saw the official opening of Centre Square (the area in front of the gallery). There were various events and acts performing over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, including this young lady, doing aerial acrobatics from a balloon, presumably filled with helium. She was moved around and lifted higher and lower by two guys holding ropes on either side of the balloon.

She must have a very trusting nature as I'd hate to think where she would have ended up if they had let go of the rope!
