Part of THE VERY IDEA issue.
Pathe Studios, London.
The Four Spallas Acrobatic Troupe perform act. The troupe consists of three men and a woman. Various shots of woman contorting her body into graceful poses, she is very flexible. Without explanation the floaty dress she is wearing disappears half way through performance, instead she wears a skimpy bikini. The woman is joined by the three men and the acrobatic routine continues.
