Experience
Hand-to-Hand


Their appearance signifies the interdependence of the first humans who build on their solidarity until a whole tribe emerges. Two mighty physiques connect in gentle, fluid movements, exuding a strength that mystifies the audience.

The Lorador Brothers: Marco and Paulo, exhibit incredible feats of strength with the chilling song "Ulyssee", mimicking their moves the slow-paced theme features meditative harmony vocals, laced with violin and woodwinds. These brothers match their fusion of skin and hand right before your eyes while their bodies rotate helplessly on a dome below them! Adding a new wave of skill and concentration to their perfect union. And, not only can one lift the other, but what Paulo can do while laying on his stomach is just raw power - whith Marco hand-balanced on his feet, Paulo strains to lift him back up again!

A conquering guitar solo embellishes the song's closing pinnacle. Then a troupe of alien-looking life forms guides the strong men through a sparkling mist during the subtle and spacey sounds of "Dôme." As an aside to history, the act was originally performed by Yves Décoste and Mario Pontbriand (Yves moved on to Quidam) before the drastic change in 1996
