Strangely Beautiful Performance on Campus

Today on the south lawn of the Union, Purdue Convocations staged a free performance of "Three Belles" by Australia's new wave acrobatic group Strange Fruit. Below is a brief iPhone clip of the free performance. The performers are standing on a swaying pole on pogostick-like pedals.  They're strapped on at the thighs.  They control the movement of the poles by shifting their body weight.  They can also spin on the tops of the poles.  It's pretty remarkable to see. 



Here's a longer video produced by the company.
