SYNOPSIS
To the rocking sounds of Muse, the trapeze duo Elja whirls through the air high above the heads of their audience. The speed with which they move allows the two bodies to merge into a unit where you no longer know who is the catcher and who is the flyer.

Powerful, precise and expressive, perfectly matched to the music, on a technically very high level, the duo Elja captivates their audience and radiates energy, sensuality and joie de vivre.
