I'm sure this barely scratches the surface on what's possible:

I'd be curious to just to see creativity on multiple parallel bars side to side.  I can imagine giants and back tosses that travel side to side.  I've sometimes wondered what would happen if the sport of gymnastics allowed for further radical evolution of the apparatus.  How about a horse as long as a balance beam with multiple pommels?  More than two bars for unevens?  Men's high bars similar to unevens in that you can do a release to another high bar?  With parkour, circus acts, trampoline walls, etc. there are just limitless possibilities on turning anything into a competitive sport.

Circus High Bar Acts

What happens when you aren't confined to the rules and regulations of your sport?  And are only limited by the laws of physics and creativity instead?  Freedom of innovation happens:

High bar circus acts:

The origins of the circus high bar discipline come directly from men's artistic gymnastics, an apparatus still competed today. The jump from sport to the circus world isn't surprising since high barre is often considered one of the most exciting gymnastics apparatus. The height of the barre combined with the powerful 'Giant' swings, spectacular aerial releases and dismounts give it the speed and danger elements which make for a fantastic thrill circus act. The Circus Guide Entertainment Agency offers high quality high barre acts with anything from 1 to 8 performers in the group, and even acts including multiple high barres with varying heights.
