What the aerial silks show is
Two silks hung from the ceiling and an acrobat who climbs them, wraps herself in, ties off and drops. The drop is what makes the audience jump: it looks like a free fall, and the silk catches her half a metre off the floor.
It's the most recognisable aerial act there is, and the one that lands hardest with an audience who has never seen circus. Each set runs about five minutes.
Aerial silks for shop openings and product launch events
At an opening or a product launch, the challenge is creating a moment people link to the brand. Aerial silks for launches offer exactly that: five minutes of tension in the air that stop conversation and draw every eye to the same spot.
- Before the reveal: the act warms up the room and leaves the audience focused just before the product is unveiled.
- Chosen music: the choreography can be set to the campaign track, with enough notice for rehearsals.
- Lighting: with follow spots, the performer stands out against the background and the act looks even better in photos and videos.
- Several sets: if the opening lasts for hours, the act is repeated for each wave of guests.
The silk drop, when the acrobat seems to plunge and stops half a metre from the floor, is the moment everyone films and shares. Before confirming the date we check the rigging point and the clear height, and if the venue has no suitable anchor point, we install truss. That way an aerial show for companies works in shops, hotels and unique venues in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and across Spain.
Technical requirements
An anchor point rated for at least 250 kg (working load) or a truss structure, and 4.5 to 5 metres of clear height below it. With less height the act loses the length of the drops, which is what it lives on.
A PA is also needed and, if wanted, follow spots. Our technician checks the anchor before every performance.

Aerial silks acrobatics for nightclubs, festivals and night events
Night-time is the natural stage for aerial acts. With the room in darkness and a spotlight on the performer, aerial silks acrobatics for nightclubs and late-night parties become a moment that cuts through the music and makes the whole dance floor look up.
- Repeatable sets: as each set lasts around five minutes, the act can be repeated several times through the night.
- Peak moment: scheduled at midnight or at the height of the party, the set marks the high point of the night.
- With the DJ: the routine is set to a specific song, so it is coordinated with the booth to start at exactly the right moment.
- Safety checked: our technician checks the rigging before every performance, including on truss structures.
At festivals, the act needs a rigging point or truss structure with enough height, 4.5 to 5 metres of clear space below, so the drops can shine. With that range, the aerial silks show impresses circus fans and first-timers alike. We bring this night-time aerial entertainment to venues, clubs and festivals in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and the rest of Spain.
Why book the aerial silks?
- The most recognisable aerial act: acrobatic silks land with audiences who have never seen circus.
- The drop makes the room jump, and it's what people talk about afterwards.
- Five-minute sets, repeatable through the night.
- Rigging checked by our technician before every performance.
The music is chosen in advance
As with the other aerial acts, the routine is built around a specific track. It can be changed to whatever you want, but ask ahead: rebuilding the routine takes rehearsal.
If you'd rather, the artist brings her own act ready-made and there's nothing to decide.

- Company galas and gala dinners
- Weddings and private celebrations

Aerial silks for company parties, weddings and Christmas dinners
The wow moment
When you set out to hire aerial silks performers, what you are really after is that instant when every guest holds their breath. Aerial silk acrobatics for corporate events turn a banqueting hall into a circus ring for a few minutes, with no stage and no big production, just height and a sound rigging point.
At a company party or Christmas dinner the act marks the shift from dinner to celebration and gives everyone something to talk about. As aerial silks for weddings, it suits the couple’s entrance to the reception or the build-up to the first dance. At conventions held in hotels it is a striking way to welcome international delegations.
- Corporate Christmas dinners: an aerial set that bridges dinner and dancing and lifts the whole team.
- Wedding receptions: aerial silks to greet the newlyweds or set the scene for the first dance.
- Hotel conventions: a welcome show that needs no translation and surprises every delegate.
- Company anniversaries: silk acrobatics to celebrate a milestone with a moment people remember.

Aerial silks show price
Aerial silks are quoted from four data points: the number of passes; the custom choreography, if you prefer your own music; the event location; and the need to set up a truss structure. The aerial silks show price reaches you in a personalised quote, no commitment.
Set-up and hire across Spain
The aerial silks can be booked anywhere in the country: around 80% of our events take place outside Barcelona, in cities such as Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza and Vigo.
Before the date is confirmed we check the anchor point and the clear height. Where the venue has no suitable anchor, we build a truss structure, quoted separately.
Booking the aerial silks show
Reserving the aerial silks takes two steps. First, a 50% advance payment by invoice. Then an email with the date and time of the event and the planned passes, the exact address and an on-site contact, details of the anchor point and clear height, the music you want (with time to rehearse if it is your own track) and your tax details.
For a justified cancellation, a refund is reviewed in accordance with the agreed conditions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the aerial silks show and how long does it last?
It is an act in which an acrobat climbs two fabrics hung from the ceiling, wraps herself in them, ties herself in and drops, and the fabric stops her half a metre from the floor. It lasts about five minutes per set and can be repeated throughout the evening.
What rigging point and height does the aerial silks show need?
It needs an anchor point of at least 250 kg (working load limit) or a truss structure, and 4.5 to 5 metres of clear height beneath it, because with less height the drops lose their travel. Our rigging technician checks the anchor point before every performance.
Can we choose the music for the aerial silks show?
Yes, the aerial silks choreography is built around a specific song and can be changed to the one you want, but please tell us in advance because reworking it takes rehearsals. If you prefer, the performer brings her act ready-made, so there is nothing to decide.
What events suit the aerial silks show?
It suits corporate galas and dinners, company parties and Christmas dinners, weddings, hotel conventions and inaugurations. It is the most recognisable aerial act, even for people who have never seen circus before. We set it up anywhere in Spain from Barcelona.
