The young funambulist, then 18, was leafing through a magazine in the waiting room. The distinguished documentary producer Simon Chinn got the idea for Man on Wire while listening to a 2005 edition of Desert Island Discs featuring Philippe Petit - probably the only tightrope walker to have appeared on that programme, though he is no ordinary funambulist. While some artists focused on the darker aspects of circus life, such as the danger inherent in many of the performances or the appeal of the grotesque, others memorialized individual circus performers like trapeze artist Alfredo Codona, animal trainer Clyde Beatty, or funambulist (tightrope walker) "Bird" Millman, whose physical prowess, courage, and grace earned them celebrity status. |
