About the Performers:
Noe and Ivan España are the sons of a circus legacy, the fifth generation heirs to an incredible array of España circus talent and history. In the true circus tradition, they are the product of family training and development, much of it taking place in the spotlight before live audiences. They began performing as young children in their uncle's Krony Circus in Mexico. Their talents found initial expression on the trampoline, where at an early age each had mastered the double and triple somersaults and triple twisting somersaults. Even before their teens, they had begun practicing to join the family's flying trapeze act, and by the end of their teens, they were accomplished stars.
The rest is history, from important bookings with Circus Atayde in Mexico and at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen to featured status with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, a prominent appearance in the Lear Levin-Walt Disney Pictures production Circus, and a Silver Clown award for their performance on the flying trapeze at the International Circus Festival in Monte Carlo. The range of their repertoire has grown to include everything from the exquisitely graceful bungee trapeze to signature performances on the giant Skywheel and in the motorcycle Globe of Death. Now themselves at the helm of their own action entertainment company, España Entertainment, Inc., Noe and Ivan have carried their fascination with presentation, style, and dangerous motion to new levels with their spectacular seventy-minute production, España Extreme, a blend of innovative, cutting edge circus and extreme sports, with brilliant costuming, dramatic state-of-the-art apparatus, riveting contemporary music, and high-tech lighting and pyrotechnics.
