On Tuesday morning at 11am, Joseph Bauer will perform on a whirling, revolving device called the 'Wheel of Destiny' at 250 feet up in the air.
The contraption will be located at the top of the 19-story One Watergate Condominium in downtown Sarasota.
“After more than eight decades of circus in Sarasota, I can definitely say that nothing like this has ever been seen in our community,” said Pedro Reis, co-founder and CEO of Circus Sarasota. “Nothing like it will ever be seen again.”
Bauer, a Sarasota native, will be performing the stunt at heights the device has never been used before.
All day Monday, Circus Sarasota crews battled high winds to set up for the event on Tuesday. The weather forecast for Tuesday calls for a mostly cloudy day with winds out of the southwest at 10-15 miles per hour.
Circus Sarasota says attendees of the performance should plan on getting downtown around 10am as crews get the wheel ready. The best viewing areas for the event are Bay Front Park, the Ringling Bridge and along N. Tamiami Trl.
Bauer is currently performing with Circus Sarasota in February, a Circus Sarasota press release said. This year, performances will be presented from Thursday, February 3rd through Monday, February 21st. The Circus Sarasota Big Top will be located at the intersection of Tuttle and 12th Street, across from Ed Smith Stadium. Tickets are available now, on-line at www.circussarasota.org or by calling (941) 355-9805.
