Castells - UNESCO World Heritage - performance in Singapore

Singapore - Just outside of Ocean Tower was a Castells performance.  ''Castells'' are human towers built by members of amateur groups and this was a UNESCO World Heritage performance right in the heart of Singapore.


The human towers are formed by ''castellers'' standing on the shoulders of one another in a succession of stages (between six and ten). Each level of the ''tronc,'' the name given to the second level upwards, generally comprises two to five heavier built men supporting younger, lighter-weight boys or girls.
