The Human Body

At a mall in downtown, they have a small trapeeze and rope show everynight at 6 during the summer. The guys who do the act are from a local dinner/theater/circus called Teatro ZinZanni. We went to see the show yesterday, and the men did the most amazing tricks using just their own bodies and a rope or piece of cloth. They twisted their bodies in the rope then would release and fall 20 feet and end up hanging by one leg that was wrapped in the rope. They would make their body become horizontal to the rope while hodling on with just one arm. It was amazing how flexible and strong their bodies were. When they got on the trapeeze, they would both hang upside down by their feet, or one guy would hang from the other guys feet. But the most impressive of all was when one of the guys hung from the trapeeze with only the back of his neck and head. He held his entire body on a trapeeze with his neck! Talk about control. The show was beautiful, and I couldn't help thinking how amazing the human body is.
