With the Euro 2016 set to start in France in three weeks, dancers from “Les passagers” dance troupe treated crowds in Paris’ Hotel de Ville to a performance of ‘vertical soccer’.

The performers, dressed as footballers, appeared to defy gravity as they traveled up and down the grass-covered terrain, suspended from harnesses at the top.

However, hidden behind the pitch their colleagues worked hard acting as counterweights, allowing the players to move up and down with ease.
