Experience
Highwire


The twin high wires criss-cross diagonally stage left to stage right at 15 and 25 feet above the stage, and the four tightrope walkers add their own tension to the 6,600 pound load on each rope.

Angel Quiros, Angel Villarejo, Vicente Quiros, and Roberto Quiros (The Dominguez's from Spain) lay siege to the high-wires next, taking to them with ease. The brothers skip and dance across as if they have forgotten they are twenty-five plus feet from the ground without a safety net. A point we become acutely aware during the performance. The boys assemble a narrow moving platform in the sky for Vicente to play on. And if we weren't all hyperventilating by that point, he stands on it, balances, takes a chair, and balances on it. He then eases himself back down in the seat crossing his legs in defiance.
