Man on Wire at St John the Divine, with David Duchovny
NewYorkology contributer Moses Gates is an urban planner, part-time tour guide, and full-time Gothamphile. He reports on the the high up, the low down, and the out-of-the-way in New York City.
As part of Saturday’s all-day celebration for the recent re-opening of St. John the Divine, the high-wire master Philippe Petit, artist-in-residence and subject of the recent documentary “Man on Wire,” gave a half-hour show at the cathedral in the afternoon.
As part of the show Petit put a short tightrope performance - with an assist from several people in the crowd, including former “X-Files” star David Duchovny (in brown jacket.)
