High wire artist Philippe Petit is best known for his dramatic, hour-long, clandestine performance on a steel cable between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City in 1974. He has presented more than eighty high-wire walks all over the world; and each one, in his mind and in the eyes of thousands of spectators, has been a work of art. He’ll discuss his work in the talk, “Cheating the Impossible,” on Thursday, October 6, 5:30pm, in the Martel Theater of the Vogelstein Center for Drama and Film. This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. For reservations, please contact: boxoffice@vassar.edu or call (845) 437-5599.
