An energetic and dizzying effort to raise a 45 foot wooden structure with a man on top.

Inch by inch, a giant wooden structure is erected, with a man clinging to the top.  After struggling with their bare hands to put this contraption together, the performers eventually arrive at the moment of truth.  Suspended high above the crowd, what will this man decide to do?
