Les Fabuleuses Flying French

Members of the French troupe Compagnie Retouramont put on a gravity-defying performance on the façade of San José’s downtown Gran Hotel Costa Rica on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The 40-minute act, which combined dance with acrobatics and climbing, was part of the International Arts Festival, which runs through Sunday.

For a complete listing of other festival activities, see Page W11 in today’s Tico Times Weekend section.
