Flying Trapeze Session in a 1931 Art Deco Cinema, Montréal

A flying trapeze session at Le Château de Cirque, a stunning 1931 Art Deco cinema in Montréal's Petite-Italie. The hour-long class is run by professional coaches who break the movement down step by step: climbing high above the mat, leaping out into the air and swinging through the space. No previous experience is required, and the session is set up to work for all ages and skill levels — you stay safely harnessed throughout and every flyer is caught on each flight. The setting does a lot of the work here, since flying inside a beautifully restored 1930s picture house is a different proposition from a standard gym, and each flight tends to stick in the memory. It suits visitors passing through the city, solo adventurers and groups after an outing they will still be telling stories about months later.
