Big top drama: Acrobats fly through the air with the greatest of ease on Glasgow Green
Participants from Aerial Edge Youth Circus showcase their skills in the 12-metre high Big Top on Glasgow Green in a dress rehearsal ahead of their public performance. The acrobats – aged from seven to 17 – will perform using silks, trapeze and aerial hoops, as well as ground-based acrobatics, flips and tricks as part of Festival 2018.
The Big Top on Glasgow Green is hosting contemporary circus shows as part of GO LIVE! at the Green. The Big Top is also part of the celebrations for Circus 250, the Uk-wide anniversary of the first circus ring, established 250 years ago in London.
