What aerial shows are
Booking aerial shows for events brings contemporary acrobatics performed by professionals suspended in the air: silks, hoops, walls, helium balloons or spheres.
The synchronised choreography and near-contortionist movement create a show full of flexibility, harmony and emotion. These are daring, bold, visually artistic acts: an elegant and memorable experience for any event.
Aerial shows at festivals, town festivities and openings
Outdoors, an aerial show can be seen from the whole square. At town festivities, festivals and grand openings, acrobatics at height bring the crowd together in one spot and create the highlight of the day, in daylight or under spotlights after dark.
- Vertical wall: acrobats dance on the facade of a landmark building or the new venue.
- Acrobatic balloons: a monumental image designed for open spaces.
- Heliosphere: a large helium sphere with acrobatics, ideal to close a festival.
- Silks and hoops: on truss when the space has no rigging point.
Before the event we check rigging points, available height and the light and sound needs of each format with the council or the venue. The choreography is set to the music you choose, so the performance fits the festival programme.
Aerial silks and acrobats for weddings: the moment nobody expects
At a wedding, the moment a performer appears suspended above the guests has everyone looking up. Booking aerial silks for weddings brings a moment of emotion and beauty that becomes one of the most talked-about memories of the day.
- Opening the reception: a performance over the entrance to the dining room kicks off dinner with a spectacular effect.
- The couple's music: the routine is set to the chosen melody, for example the couple's song.
- Evening party: with spotlights high above the floor, the performance gains impact and leads into the dancing.
- Aerial hoops: an equally elegant alternative, with movements full of flexibility and harmony.
Before the event we check the rigging points, available height and lighting and sound requirements with the venue or hotel. Silks and hoops need a rigging point rated for at least 250 kg or a truss installation, and a height of 4.5 to 5 metres. With that information we prepare a tailored proposal so the aerial show for weddings fits the running order of the day, in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia or anywhere in Spain.
Technical requirements for the aerial shows
Silks and hoops: 1 anchor point rated at 250 kg minimum (WLL) or the option to install truss, a minimum height of 4.5-5 m, a sound system and follow spots (optional).
Wall: a wall at least 10 m high with 2 anchor points rated 250 kg WLL, plus lighting and sound.
Balloons and Heliosphere: open spaces or very high ceilings, a technical sound and lighting rider, a fenced, supervised 10 x 10 m preparation area, 16 A at 220 V power and a 20 x 20 m performance space.
We go over the anchor points and available height with you before closing the proposal.

Why book an aerial show?
- It leaves the audience speechless: a balancing dance at height is as astonishing as it is spectacular.
- It works at night: with spots trained high above the ground, the visual effect multiplies.
- Bespoke music: the choreography is built around whichever track you choose.
- A format for every space: from an indoor aerial silks performance to a monumental helium sphere outdoors.
Aerial silks and hoop acts
Aerial silks: acrobatic, synchronised choreography on silks suspended in the air, with near-contortionist movement full of flexibility and harmony. The silk artists draw endless variations out of the suspended fabric.
Aerial hoop: the same idea on a suspended hoop, an act that astonishes through the flexibility and harmony of the movement, with endless variations of aerial hoop acrobatics.
Length: 5 minutes per set in both formats.
Requirements: 1 anchor point rated 250 kg minimum (WLL) or truss, a minimum height of 4.5-5 m, a sound system and optional follow spots.
Wall aerial act
The wall aerial act is a balancing dance on the sides of buildings: the acrobats move vertically, suspended from anchor points, in a semi-suspended show as astonishing as it is spectacular.
At night it's lit with spots high above the ground, and the dancers move to whichever track is playing. It's the option for leaving an audience open-mouthed.
- Length: 5 minutes per set.
- Acrobats: 2 recommended, adaptable to 1.
- Requirements: a wall at least 10 m high with 2 anchor points (250 kg WLL), lighting and sound.
Acrobatic balloons and Heliosphere

Acrobatic balloons: they combine acrobatics and helium balloons for a unique, monumental visual experience, ideal for outdoor events.
Acrobatic Heliosphere: a monumental aerial show combining acrobatics and a huge helium sphere, designed for large events.
- Length: 15 minutes in both formats.
- Requirements: open spaces or very high ceilings, a technical sound and lighting rider, a fenced 10 x 10 m technical area, 16 A at 220 V power and a 20 x 20 m performance space.

Aerial acrobats for gala dinners and product launches
Showstopping moment
If you want to hire aerial acrobats in Barcelona for a corporate event, think about the exact moment when everyone should look the same way. At a company gala dinner, an aerial silks act above the tables opens the evening; at a launch, the artist descends just as the product is unveiled.
Aerial silks for product launches and conventions work as a transition between speeches without breaking the flow of the programme. For local councils and town festivals, the wall, balloon and Heliosphere formats take the show into streets and squares. We adapt the choreography to your music and brand image. We perform in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and anywhere in Spain.
- Corporate gala dinners: aerial silks or hoop above the room to open the evening with impact.
- Product launches: aerial acrobatics timed to the reveal in front of press and clients.
- Conventions and conferences: a short aerial show as a transition between programme blocks.
- Town and council festivals: large-format aerial shows on façades and squares for local councils.

Aerial show price
We want you to match the spend to what you picture: the cost of an aerial show varies with the discipline you prefer (silks, hoops, wall, balloons or Heliosphere), the place, how many performances you want and whether we add music of your choice. Request your personalised quote, with no obligation.
Set-up and coordination of the show
Before the event we review the anchor points, the available height and the lighting and sound requirements of the chosen format with the venue.
- Anchors: we check they meet the minimum load (250 kg WLL) or install truss if needed.
- Rigging: the technical team installs the aerial equipment and runs the safety checks.
- Sound and lighting: we coordinate the technical rider and the follow spots.
- De-rigging once the performance ends.
This is the technical coordination of the aerial show we carry out before every set.
