What it is

No rigging. No crane.
Nothing holding it up.

Most aerial acts need a truss, a crane or a ceiling point — a structure the audience can see, and a venue that can take the load. HALO needs none of it.

The balloon carries itself. A hundred kilograms of gross lift, held on two hand-controlled tethers, with a single harnessed performer suspended beneath a six-metre sphere. From the ground it reads as a moon that arrived early — and then the moon starts to move.

It works over a polo field, a festival crowd, a hotel forecourt or an arena floor. Day or night, indoors or out.

  1. I

    The envelope fills

    A ten-by-ten metre square is cleared and the six-metre sphere is laid out and inflated in front of the audience. The rise itself is part of the show.

  2. II

    The aerialist connects

    Harness, swivels and connectors are checked, buddy-checked, and test-lifted a metre off the ground before anyone goes higher.

  3. III

    The climb

    Two ground crew walk the tethers out and the performer leaves the ground — slowly, silently, with no engine noise and no rigging in the sky.

  4. IV

    The routine

    Choreography built to your soundtrack, flown up to twenty metres, drifting over the crowd close enough to make eye contact.

How it is flown

One balloon,
six ways to use it

The act is built around your moment — a reveal, an opening, a headline set, a national day. These are the configurations we fly most.

01

Solo aerialist

One performer, one balloon. The core act — a slow, silent climb above the crowd with choreography rehearsed to your soundtrack.

02

Duo balloons

Two envelopes, two aerialists, flown in formation. Performed for UAE National Day at Dubai Festival City and the 2.0 film launch at Burj Park.

03

Branded envelope

Your identity across a six-metre sphere, lit from within and visible from the far end of the site. Flown for Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah.

04

LED and colour-change

Colour-changing envelope and LED costume for night programming, synchronised to the show's lighting cues.

05

Flag and reveal moments

National flags, sponsor banners and fabric reveals released from altitude — built for national days and opening ceremonies.

06

Ground ensemble finale

Silk panels running from the balloon to dancers on the ground, turning a single aerial act into a full-field spectacle.

Before you book

Questions production
managers ask first

Yes. Indoors the show is limited by ceiling height rather than the 20 m outdoor maximum — atriums, arenas, exhibition halls and hotel ballrooms all work, provided the space is clear of overhead rigging above the flight path.
