Résumé :
For French funambulist, Jean-François Gravelet, aka The Great Blondin, routine performances on his tightrope became too dull, too boring, too ordinaire. Fame wasn’t enough to satisfy his artistic yearnings. He imagined dramatic and exciting feats that nobody had ever attempted. It took a fateful trip to Niagara Falls in 1858 to spark his most creative idea—to perform on a tightrope over the raging Niagara River. With the help of STEAM skills, The Great Blondin engineered his rope and proved that what can be imagined can be accomplished. Magnifique!
