Heliosphere

Spiralling, spinning and seemingly weightless, our incredible Heliosphere acrobat performs suspended beneath a helium balloon, exploring the unchartered space between street level and the rooftops above the audience’s heads.

Biography

Heliosphere is a show performed to music, making it a performance that is both aerobatic and interactive, creating an overall magical effect of making it seem like the performer is flying.

The ground crew, harnessed to lines but largely unseen, control the balloon’s speed, direction and height. Working together, the three artists create a piece of overhead magic and on a calm day, our aerial dancer can swoop out of the sky, steal the sugar lumps from a café-goer’s saucer and soar to twenty meters in a moment.

The performers have been known to steal hats off of people’s heads, deliver the bridal bouquet, and carry away the champions cup in a packed stadium.

The Heliosphere show was first performed in April 1998 and coining the name from those mysterious bubbles in space, they have currently performed in 57 countries around the world, averaging 60 shows per year. They have experimented with covers, costumes, branding, lighting and different sizes, shapes and fabrics and still create new variations of their incredible one-of-a-kind show.
