LES GRANDES MARCHES - The High Wire Walks

Depuis sa création, Altitude réalise des grandes prestations de funambule en collaboration avec des metteurs en scène et des concepteurs d’événements.

Ces “Marches” à très grande hauteur entre des buildings ou cathédrales, entre des tours ou au-dessus d’un fleuve, sont l’occasion d’un instant magique, en suspension, qui ne nous font plus jamais voir les lieux où elles s’inscrivent comme avant.

Since its creation, Altitude has produced great high wire walking performances in collaboration with directors and events designers. These very high walks between buildings or cathedrals, between towers or over a river, offer a magic moment, in suspension, so that we will never look at these sights the same again.
