Trapeze

A trapeze is a short horizontal bar hung by ropes, metal straps, or chains, from a ceiling support. It is an aerial apparatus commonly found in circus performances. Trapeze acts may be static, spinning (rigged from a single point), swinging or flying, and may be performed solo, double, triple or as a group act.

This article is about the aerial apparatus. For other uses, see Trapeze (disambiguation).

The name of the apparatus reflects the trapezoid shape made by the horizontal bar, ropes and ceiling support.
