An original Dralion act that was unlike anything else. A group of female artists wore ballet pointe shoes and balanced while other performers climbed onto their shoulders creating high towers of people all on a platform of light bulbs. Double Duplex Trapeze: An original Dralion act, two trapezes that had one bar at the bottom and another bar about a metre above it, the artists would jump or flip from the higher bar into the hands of another performer at the bottom bar. Foot Juggling: An original Dralion act, this foot juggling act featured a female artist who manipulated and spun an open Chinese parasol on her feet, at one moment she would have a parasol on each foot and each hand, all spinning simultaneously. Balancing on Chairs: This act had an artist stack a pile if chairs, at the top of the pile the artist performed a hand-balancing act. Spirits: Four couples perform a gravity-defying ballet. Costumes Dralions costumes are vibrant in color; inspired by clothing from India, China, and Africa; and are shaped according to the movements of each performer's choreography. In total there are around 1500 wardrobe pieces for the show, taking into account that some artists have up to four costume changes during a single performance. Yao: As the symbol of fire, Yao is clad in red and inspired by Chinese. Océane: As the goddess of water, Océane's costume is Indian inspired and green in color. Azala: As the goddess of air, Azala's primary color is blue. Her dress is fashioned with Asian crystal beads. Gaya: As the goddess of earth, Gaya's color is Ochre. Her costume is inspired by African designs. L'Âme Force: The texture on the front of their golden costumes is made by moulding small plastic soldiers. Dralions: The dralions are constructed from a mélange of items both natural and synthetic: lycra, leather, silk, mosquito netting, polystyrene foam, springs, raffia, horse hair, emu feathers, and other fabrics and decorations.
