Italian acrobatic show mesmerizes Chileans

An acrobatic and aerial show captured the attention of hundreds of Chileans on Saturday night in Santiago’s O'Higgins Park as performers contorted their bodies in mid-air during a spectacle that included large cranes, lights, and aerial gymnastics.

The show Carillon: The Flight of Time used moving machines on three different stages. The show included a large crane some 80 meters above the ground. The director of the company Kitonb said the show and skills showcased during the outdoor performance reflected the 20 years of experience.

The performance was brought to Santiago during the “Santiago a Mil,” a festival that aims to bring free and low-cost artistic and cultural events to Chile. It was the first time Carillon, the Flight of Time, had performed in South America.
