Henri the tightrope walker gets philosophical when he’s performing.
Just body, rope and stick. Perfect equilibrium, the way Henri likes it.
One foot after another. Goal-oriented, single-minded.
Even the crowd vanishes. Even Amelie, turning cartwheels below.
Of course, Amilie’s trying to vanish anyway. Bruno the strongman wants to take her to Paris.
Bruno isn’t performing tonight. No-one can find him. It’s because he’s been eaten by Sasha the tiger, but only Henri knows that.
He shouldn’t have tried to upset Henri’s equilibrium.
Henri gives a slight smile. You need equilibrium to walk the rope. You don’t need to be balanced.
