This article is about the aerial apparatus. For other uses, see Trapeze (disambiguation).
A trapeze is a short horizontal bar hung by ropes, metal straps, or chains, from a ceiling support. It is an aerial apparatus commonly found in circus performances. Trapeze acts may be static, spinning (rigged from a single point), swinging or flying, and may be performed solo, double, triple or as a group act.[1]
The name of the apparatus reflects the trapezoid shape made by the horizontal bar, ropes and ceiling support.[2]
