Definition & Meaning of "static trapeze"in English

What is "static trapeze"?

Static trapeze is a circus apparatus where performers perform aerial acrobatics on a trapeze that is fixed in place, rather than swinging. The trapeze consists of a horizontal bar suspended by ropes or cables from a fixed point, allowing performers to execute a range of poses, tricks, and transitions while hanging or balancing on the bar. Static trapeze focuses on strength, balance, and precision as the performer remains stationary or moves with controlled, deliberate motions. This act is known for its elegance and the showcase of the performer's skill in maintaining stability and executing complex aerial maneuvers.
