When asked about their act, the members of Las Piranhas provided this poetic self-description for "Juggler's World."

 

Las Piranhas are coming

This classic clown trio keeps today's audience

on the edge of their seats with their tricks&treats

Teetering between disaster and glorious triumph

combining athletic high-jinks and hilarity.

 

Phillippo, Fritz and Franz

with white-handkerchief-mouse

much-too-big-feet shiny-bald-head

sounds "a la musette" on the accordion

on top of a giraffe swaying between art&nunsense

Multi-positional- fancy-costumed-slapstick -acrobatics,

Three-men-high, flaghandstand, double-fly and toro.

Balls whirling, umbrellas twirling,

clubs flying, hats dancing

Filling the air.

Chair-balancing to the music of the saw.

somersaults, jokes and unicycle jokes

make certain not a single person

escapes.

And now, WOW! You're right in the middle of

THE ACT.

(l-r) Phillippo, Fritz & Franz
