Tell Teigen or Trygve Teigen, 1923-1958 was an acrobat born in Høyanger, Norway. His speciality was to balance on stacked chairs on top on tall masts. He did his performances without any form of safety provisions. He performed all over Scandinavia and in the Olympics in Helsinki in 1952. Tell Teigen was engaged by the circus Ringling Brothers in the US. During a performance in 1958 he fell down from a high mast and was killed. In 2001 a documentary was produced about the life of Tell Teigen. In 2008 a memorial was erected in Høyanger made by Geir Hjetland. ==References== * (Tell Teigen på NRK ) * (Balanse ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tell Teigen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
