A safety net is mounted underneath and a bulk of spectators are watching the scene. One of the acrobats, wearing a tanktop and holding a long baton in his hands, is upright. His partner, who is wearing an odd headgear, put his legs around the formers hips and stabilizes with his hands on the wire. The square is enclosed by various residential and commercial buildings, some wooden, others made out of concrete.
