Aerial artistry on the
construction site crane
October 12 & 13, 2024 | Station 1 | Kaiserstrasse / Lammstrasse
In Karlsruhe city center, a construction site crane became the stage for spectacular acrobatics: two aerial artists hovered at a dizzying height of 11 meters on a vertical cloth. The result was a fascinating interplay of strength, elegance and weightlessness between the sky and steel in the middle of Kaiserstraße - a poetic dance above the heads of the audience.
The contrast between the urban construction site and the delicate fabric made this performance a unique experience full of excitement, beauty and amazement.
This street show was a measure of the city marketing as part of the construction site marketing on the occasion of the redesign of the Kaiserstraße.
