Vertical Dancers Promote New Austrian Airline Service

Viennese dancers waltzed down a wall at Chicago's Navy Pier on May 25. To promote Austrian Airlines' new direct flight from Chicago to Vienna, the Vienna Tourism Board staged a promotion that let locals see Vienna from a different angle—literally. Dressed in costumes inspired by Austrian culture, performers descended a 21-meter vertical stage as onlookers gazed up from below. The stunt was part of a public, daylong celebration hosted by the tourism board.
