Our Rigging

The Octagon

One of the most recognizable apparatus in the performance industry. A halo truss supports all three bars and the catcher’s trapeze and appears to float above the audience. The Royals' Spectacular Octagon Stage creates a tent-like feel in the open air!

The Towers

Four, 40-foot trussing towers support the Octagon for outdoor performances and can be seen from any and all angles. We can turn any outdoor space into a 360 degree performance area, placing the audience within arm's reach of our artists.

The Net

We take every precaution to ensure the safety of our performers and our audience, and it all starts with this custom creation from Bobby's BigTop. The Royals' net stretches 60 feet in every direction and is inspectected and maintained by the troupe daily.

The Act

Spectacular non-stop aerial action! Most manuevers can only be presented on a rig of this kind and the Royals use every bit of their creativity. The act can change in a moment so you rarely see the same tricks twice, and our classic style never waivers. Follow one performer through a single show and they'll often touch all three bars! Don't Blink!
