Dual aerialists Lorant Markocsany and Amanda Orozco practice their aerial pas de deux performance high above the seats at Philips Arena during rehearsals as Cirque du Soleil prepares for the Dralion performances in Atlanta on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Fusing the 3,000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature.
