Death defying High Wire act Paris: Triska Troupe

Matej Triska and family dare Devil High wire act From the Czech Republic.
Not many to no one since Matej Triska has had the skill and strength to perform on the high wire. a lot of other acts have copied the Triska Family act as the Triska family invented high wire walking through many generations. As Folklore goes a Triska was a Forest Ranger for the king's land in the 1600s. He and the princess had a romance the King forbid that as he was not of noble blood. The princess ran away with him. He was later caught and thrown in a Lion's Den he climbed up the walls of the cage and walked across the wire at the top of the cage holding it together walked the wire across and jump up to the side of a cliff next to the cage and escaped never to be seen again... It was a very popular story back then so they started reenacting the event. The Triskas are the inventors of the High wire, they were the first to do the Pyramid on the wire and most other tricks.
They were Cousins to The Wallendas in early 1900 by marriage but the families do not talk to each other now as all of the older ones have died.

So beautiful! Is Karla the young woman? She is my grandmother. I've heard the stories and saw her posters at her funeral, but other than her walking me to bed as a child in a hand stand this is the most I've seen of her in her professional role. Are there more?
