Circus artists rehearsing for tonight’s show around the Vieux Port in Marseille, part of La Biennale Internationale des Arts du Cirque. As well as trapeze artistes and jugglers, there looks to be going to be a high wire cyclist performing high above the port end of the Canebière. And there are searchlights set up to illuminate a high wire stretched between cranes on either side of the port. Although there will be a thin crescent moon and a Mistral to keep the skies clear, unfortunately it’s likely to be a cold night both for the performers and the crowds.
Footnote: the event was cancelled due to the weather
