Not Just Clowing Around - The Berrics

Avatar

With unemployment figures hovering near 10% in the US over the last few years, hunting for a job can be discouraging. The best advice we can give is to find something you’re passionate about and pursue it with everything you’ve got. Now we’re not necessarily saying you should run out and join the circus - but brothers Francisco and Raphael Cruz prove that you definitely could.

Francisco and Raphael grew up skating in San Francisco but moved to Montreal to make a career as professional circus artists. Raphael recently returned to California to perform in the new Cirque du Soleil show Iris now playing at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. He and Francisco stopped by the park for a visit and found Chase filming a few tricks with Nick Merlino. Always up for everything, Nick kindly agreed to lend his talents to theirs and this is the result. Enjoy!
