Wow!
That’s what I said to myself when I saw the
Acroniques act Saturday, October 27,
2012.
I have been here three years and I have only
seen them once before , but this time
what I saw was epic.: children from the High School, with the assistance from
some adults from around the Helderberg area, performing in ways that makes one
question if gravity truly exists to somw people.
Anderson Hall was the place to be
on this day. I entered the building and walk up stairs so I could have a bird’s
eye view of everything and then suddenly the lights go off and music starts
playing. The curtains open to the beat of the music and we see
young boys and girls standing in rows of five. They introduce themselves and do an act; they
carry each other in different ways, every group of four doing something
different. The song then changes and the people on stage leave for more people
to enter. This time a group of about 15 people start forming towers as they
climb on each other. The act continues with different towers being built as
humans balance other humans on each other.
The
event was magical especially towards the end when the team on stage walked back
and started building a tower with two ladders being held by adults. Then when the human tower was well
balanced, two small boys started climbing the ladder to the top of the tower
and stood on top. Surprisingly nobody fell and I was amazed that they could balance themselves for more
than a minute at a time, truly fascinated. At the end of the show, people were asked if they wanted to learn a
few tricks - cheating gravity I call it. Several people
went forward; I didn’t. I was tempted, but I love my life too much
and don’t believe that I should be the
one to cheat gravity!
