A tight rope walker is "un funambule" (especially when the rope is very high) or un "fil-de-feriste" (when the cable is set at about 2/3 meters in height)
A funambulist.
If the rope is horizontal, then it would not be possible for a tight rope walker to walk on the rope with the rope being completely straight. No amount of tension in a perfectly straight rope can support any amount of weight that is exactly perpendicular to it. But don't worry. If the rope itself has any weight, then it's not possible for a horizontal rope to be completely straight, for exactly the same reason.
A sentence with the word transfixed is: The crowd was transfixed as they watched the tight rope walker.

Slack-rope walk. A rope will be under tension and tight if the two ends are elevated so there is no slack, hence a tight-rope. However, leaving the rope unsuspended will result in a slack rope which will not move under foot and can be walked on easily, as the rope is supported by the ground that also offers support to the feet.
