The stage is as much of a part of the show as the performers. Four moving lifts can create the effect of a staircase, a dark pit or a steep cliff depending on how they are moved. The center stage features a turntable that rotates up to 10 revolutions per minute. Designed by Michael Crete, the stage makes the complex feats even more amazing, not to mention dangerous. For example, in the Korean Plank segment, performers seesaw on the plank, each sailing higher and higher into the air, as the turntable rotates at top speed.
Timing is key as the acrobats stack one atop another, up to four people high.
The trapeze is turned into a sport with a beautiful bungee and gymnastic act. In the Bungee display, six women perform an aerial ballet, spinning and soaring high above the crowd finally landing on the trapeze in perfect precision. The traditional circus strongman performance takes on new meaning in the Hand to Hand segment. Brothers Marco and Paulo Lorador demonstrate their strength and agility as they gracefully twist their bodies around each other while balancing on a rotating sphere. This act is exquisite and the show's best.
