EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this stunning photograph by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the mesmerizing world of Billy Smart's Circus in Hay Mills, Birmingham on the 27th of March, 1965. High above a hushed audience, at an impressive height of 60 feet within the grand big top, The Flying Ibarras take center stage with their breathtaking split-second act known as 'The Double Passage'. In this awe-inspiring display of aerial trapeze artistry, the agility and skill of these performers is truly unmatched. Suspended from delicate ropes and harnesses, they defy gravity with grace and precision. Their daring acrobatics leave spectators spellbound as they effortlessly navigate through mid-air twists and turns. The atmosphere is electric as gasps mingle with applause; every eye fixed on these fearless artists who have dedicated their lives to perfecting this death-defying routine. With each heart-stopping moment that passes by in a flash, one cannot help but marvel at the sheer courage it takes to perform such feats high above ground. This photograph not only captures a single frozen moment in time but also encapsulates an era when circuses were at their peak popularity. It serves as a reminder of the magic that once filled our hearts under those iconic big tops - where dreams soared higher than ever before.
