Troupe - Exceeding the Limits of Tradition
The World Famous Wallendas. The most
famous family in circus history, the Wallendas,
introduces an all-new troupe of performers in a
death-defying pyramid with the youngest girl in history
to present the fabled chair balance. Rick Wallenda,
eldest grandson of founders, Karl and Helen, proudly
presents his troupe of daredevils. Wallenda celebrates
more than forty years on the highwire with his latest
student, Bri.
E
leven year-old Bri headlines the act by performing the
chair pyramid on bicycles. Joining the troupe for the
201
0 season, Jim Decker, of the Peru Circus arts
school.
The Wallenda family welcomes the newest
addition.
The troupe offers many traditional turns in this stellar
routine, culminating with the chair pyramid on bicycles.
Bri refuses to limit her training, insisting that Mr.
Wallenda teach her all the tricks. Bri dreams of one-day
performing the seven-person-pyramid.
Wallenda has performed on three continents during his
forty-year career, and on more than one occasion
participated in a recreation of the gigantic pyramid. As
the patriarch, he leads this troupe to each destination
as his grandfather once led the original group. Thrilled
spectators anxiously seek autographs from these
talented performers after every show, and they can be
part of your next event.
