Triple Trapeze

Triple Trapeze

A Triple Trapeze is a static (still) trapeze with three trapezes on one bar. Therefore, there are four ropes connecting this trapeze to its frame/whatever it is hanging from. Performers specialize in synchronized tricks. One example of a triple trapeze act can be seen in Cirque du Soleil's show Varekai.
