A circus performer experienced a shocking fall from a great height while performing acrobatics and stunts during a show at the Summer Nights Festival in the Libyan capital, Tripoli. Social media in Libya circulated a video captured by attendees, showing the performer delivering an impressive act with the audience's encouragement, before suddenly falling from a height of over 5 meters.
The footage revealed how the performer landed on her back after losing her balance and letting go of the hoop she was holding, crashing to the ground in an embarrassing manner amidst the horrified screams of the spectators. As of now, her level of injury and health status remain unknown, as she was unable to move and appeared to be unconscious. Meanwhile, activists criticized the lack of safety measures and first aid during the performance.
It is worth noting that the Summer Festival events in Tripoli started last Saturday, featuring cultural performances, sports activities, art showcases, alongside competitions and entertainment activities for children.
