Sirkusfestivaali Pusu Skywalk Above Prague

The Skywalk above Prague documentary is a project of the Letní Letná International Festival of Contemporary Circus and Theater.

The opening show of the 2019 Letní Letná festival. Between Heaven and Earth high above Prague’s bridges, a French acrobat is walking. She is passing from one side of the Vltava to the other over a 350-meter tightrope. Her gait reflects absolute concentration and courage but also her faith and the attention of spectators standing on the ground with their heads tilted back in silent awe. This documentary allows the audience to watch this feat from the perspective of Tatiana standing on a rope 35 meters above the river.

The 2019 edition of the festival opened with a unique show co-created by Cie Basinga and Cie Gratte Ciel. World-renowned tightrope walker Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga crossed a 350 meter (1148 ft) rope over the Vltava with no safety harness at 35 meters (115 ft) above the river.
