Lady L’Aire

Aerial Silks Show

Elegant and playful, strong and smooth – Lady l'Aire is dancing with and on her aerial silks.
Tender movements and sweeping choreographies correspond expressively with mysterious cello music.
Her turquoise silks are flying and floating, forming beautiful shapes around the artist.

My favorite color is turquoise! But this does not have to be everyone's favorite: As you wish, I love to perform with different colors! Beautiful are our golden silks (see The Sassy Jassy Sisters), but real classics are silks colored in red or white.
Everything else is also possible. Except, beware of green: in traditional circus there is this superstition of not using green with aerial art – green bringing bad luck into the big top chapiteau... Of course we do not believe in stuff like this. But let's be honest: green is a complicated color for event lighting. To avoid making the artist's face look sickly is really hard!!!

I am happy to perform on other rigging points. Or maybe your event has sponsors of the building trades - and you have access to a crane. Please contact me!

Music
We need a sound system, appropriate for the size of the audience. We bring our own player (to connect by mini jack).

Light
We need light for the entire silks.
I will bring a detailled technical rider for lights.

If there is a crash mat (size: 2m x 3m x 30cm), we are happy to use it!
In some cases, we can bring our own.
