2006

On Emma's portico, Victor and Lucas are being clever. Lucas invents a figure, the human spinning top. On the swing, he turns on himself in order to twist the two ropes, then, he moves back to take the maximum momentum and launches himself. The strings twisting at full speed deflects the swing movement. Lucas hits Victor and the posts of the portico. Célestin stops the twisting of the ropes.
