Nights at the circus

Ben has an interesting-looking beverage over dinner before we go to see the circus:

Inside, it looks like a bamboo forest:

My favourite act by far was the flight of Icarus. He moves from tumbling and turning from inside the net to outside the net (as seen in the picture), and then he unhooks one end of the net and continues using the entire thing like a length of rope. When he wound it several times around his waist and then just let himself go as it untwisted, I nearly forgot to breathe.

Other favourites were the aerial straps, the triple trapeze and the water meteors who, even though they kept dropping their ropes, got themselves back on form with grace and rapidity beyond their years.
