Work Overview
The Froglein Sisters are swinging on trapezes that hang from the beams at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
They are performing their nightly cabaret show to a spars audience of pigeons, rats and mice.
Tonight's performance tells the incredible tale of 'Flash, The Cheetah Baker' and how he went from being a superhero cheetah that ruled the Serengeti Plain, to being a world famous croissant baker atop the Eiffel Tower.
