maut ka kuaan

2012

Diu, Daman and Diu, India

 

Maut ka Kuaan (Well of Death or Wall of Death) is an exhilarating death defying stunt show usually a part of a travelling mela or carnival. This particular act featured here was one such mela in Diu, India. This set up was a family run show with riders hired from all over the country. The performance featured two cars and 3 motorcycles, sometimes all of them circling together in the cylindrical structure mocking the laws of gravity and swishing past the onlookers with a combination of reckless abandon and an almost choreographic grace.
