un funambule = a ropewalker

The documentary ‘Man on Wire’ chronicles ‘ropewalker’ (=‘funambule’) Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Centre.

In 1973, about a year before the World Trade Centre walk, he performed a similar stunt in Sydney walking across two pillars of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Do you ever feel you kind of do it metaphorically? say... at work?
