The twin high wires are suspended 15 feet (4.5 meters) and 25 feet (7.6 meters) above the stage, and four tightrope walkers add their own tension to the 6,600-pound load on each rope. Their expert ability allows them to perform feats in the air that most of us would find difficult to do on the ground.

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.
