Upon first glance this term would seem to imply fun, but in fact it indicates activities involving great personal risk. Funambulist means tightrope walker, and Gravelet took that popular art form to previously unachieved heights. The future tightrope walker and acrobat was born in France in 1824. At various times throughout his storied career, Gravelet was billed as ‘The Great Blondin’, ‘The Daredevil Wire Walker’ and ‘The Prince of Manila’, names that are as evocative of a highly specialised skill as they are of an era. Gravelet became interested in high-wire acrobatics at a very early age. In 1829, a circus troupe performed near his home, and Gravelet became enthralled by the tightrope walker. It was the first time he had ever seen anyone attempting such stunts. As a result, he felt compelled to try to achieve the same kind of deeds. Almost immediately after he returned home from the circus, Gravelet erected a makeshift tightrope in his back yard, using two chairs as supporting structures, and tried to learn the skill of rope-walking. Instead of discouraging this rather risky pursuit, which may have been an understandable reaction, Gravelet’s father supported his son’s ambitions. That same year, he enrolled his son in a school focused on physical education. Gravelet proved to be quite adept, and after only six months of training he made his amateur performance debut. Billed as ‘The Little Wonder’, Gravelet became a popular attraction, as his performances demonstrated surprising skill and originality. Gravelet then toured America with an acrobat troupe that performed in New York City as part of ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’. During this period, Gravelet changed his name to Charles Blondin, which he selected, in part, because of his blond hair. In 1858, his itinerary took him to Niagara Falls, located near the border between the United States and Canada. Seeing this enormous natural wonder for the first time, he became obsessed with the idea of crossing the Falls on a tightrope. When Blondin requested permission to cross the Falls, official roadblocks thwarted his ambition. The surrounding community felt that the stunt would somehow reduce the Falls’ magnificent splendour to lowbrow entertainment. In addition, local officials feared the attempt would result in a horrifying accident. However, Blondin was eventually granted permission to string his rope across the Falls, and on 30 June 1859, a crowd of 100 000 people witnessed Blondin’s historic triumph. 5 10 15 20 25 30
