I did it!

This young tightrope walker makes a living showing off her skill to tourists on Goa's beaches.

 

Her brother puts up the rope across bamboo posts hammered into the sand, her performance lasts a few minutes with three or four traversals of the tightrope with various props, then the brother dismantles the set-up while she goes around with a metal plate, collecting contributions from her audience.

Ten minutes later, the rope is set up elsewhere on the beach, and the show goes on.
