Multiple trapeze
Multiple trapeze is an act entailing the use of more than one trapeze, typically two or three. In these acts, multiple people perform simultaneously. The most common type of multiple trapeze is a "triple trapeze". A triple trapeze has one long bar, held up by a ropes, basically three trapeze's put together, with the middle trapeze sharing the ropes of the other two. Multiple trapeze can also refer to an abstract structure with trapeze like structures, inside which multiple artists may perform.
An experimental cage-like structure was created by Cirque du Soleil for their show Varekai which was ultimately scrapped in production. However, the structure did appear in the 'Making of' documentary, 'Fire Within.'
