Grazing the Sky takes a revealing look at the incredible physical exploits of circus acrobats, and finds compelling stories of men and women confronting adversity – including the real risk of severe, debilitating injury. The price of life in the limelight includes years of study and practice, an iron discipline, an ongoing commitment to learning new skills and constant travel.

The film follows eight different acrobats from all over the world, dissecting interviews with artfully staged footage of the artists performing breathtaking feats.

Horacio Alcalá travelled to 11 different countries over the course of five years to capture these stories. He finds a new reality where aspiring circus performers learn their craft in specialised schools instead of the more traditional family apprenticeships.
