Troupe - Exceeding the Limits of Tradition

The World Famous Wallendas. The most
famous family in circus history, the Wallendas,
introduces an all-new troupe of performers in a death-
defying pyramid with the youngest girl in history to
present the fabled chair balance. Rick Wallenda, eldest
grandson of founders, Karl and Helen, proudly presents
his troupe of daredevils. Wallenda celebrates his
fortieth anniversary on the highwire with his latest
students, a brother and sister team.
Ten-year-old Briana headlines the act by riding
the chair pyramid supported by her brother, Egan, and
Wallenda himself. Briana and Egan practice at the
Wallenda training facility in Sarasota, Florida, and
recently the troupe added another brother, Nathan. The
celebrated circus family traditionally trains others in the
art of highwire, and now offers these siblings in a
spectacular recreation of the feat made famous by the
original Wallenda troupe.
The troupe offers many traditional turns in this
stellar routine, culminating with the chair pyramid.
Briana refuses to limit her training, insisting that Mr.
Wallenda teach her all the tricks. Brothers, Egan and
Nathan also train daily, and ably carry the smaller
pyramids as well as learning headstands, and riding
bicycles. The three siblings have recently mentioned
the possibility of one-day performing the seven-person-
pyramid.
Wallenda has performed on three continents
during his forty-year career, and on more than one
occasion participated in a recreation of the gigantic
pyramid. As the patriarch, he leads this troupe to each
destination as his grandfather once led the original
group. Thrilled spectators anxiously seek autographs
from these young performers after every show, and
they can be part of your next event.
