Runway to the stars

Since millenia, man erects bridges upon the rivers in order to join the shores. Walking on water is nonetheless possible. This is not utopia nor does not require any magic. Indeed, it suffices that the concerned river encounters one or more obstacles along its path. Interrupted, the river then turns into a multitude of lines similar to the blades of a submerged pontoon whose crossing resembles a simpe balancing act. The lighting is provided by various terrestrial lampposts and other celestial luminaries whose reflections mark out the path taken. The orchestra is for its part made up of an infinite number of clashing molecules that leak lapping and gurgling noises on a permanent roar background. Helped by these few items, do you feel the soul of an itinerant acrobat?
