As the Filipino American Symphony Orchestra played a dramatic musical piece, more than a thousand people were riveted to their seats, hardly breathing with mouths gaping in awe and wonder, as all eyes were on Ruby Karen, the unbelievable Filipina aerial artist who was gracefully hanging from a long soft fabric high above the stage. In a spectacular show of grace and strength, Ruby was dazzling her audience by doing various mind-boggling aerial acrobatics – stretching, spinning, balancing, hanging, dropping and flipping her body in the airwith just a hand or foot wrapped around the light fabric hanging from the high ceiling.
