Cradle (circus act)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cradle is an aerial circus act where acrobats act as either catchers, swinging other performers back and forth on a large rectangular frame, or flyers, those being swung. The frame can be static, swinging or standing.
This type of aerial performance has been widely used by most circuses, both in "big tops" and on stage, including by Cirque du Soleil and the Moscow State Circus.
