The Human Woodpecker
This “Flying Machine” is a wonderful structure for the perilous challenge of the Human Woodpecker. A 16th century Flemish Game in which Le Moulin à vent Productions replaces the wooden bird (suspended from a rope and having to plant its beak in a target after a pendulum flight) by a human, thus creating The Human Woodpecker !
In order to choose from 2 to 4 volunteers from the audience, who may soon find themselves upside down and their feet in the air, Le Moulin à vent Productions acrobats organize a belly balance competition.
Who can balance 10 seconds on a tube barely 1 inch in diameter? The difficulty escalates when the audience takes the place of the bird!
Deciding Factors of this Attraction:
A LITTLE GUTS, A LOT OF SPATIAL AWARENESS !
