The Santos Brothers where born in Madrid, Spain. Javier (1976) and the twins Pedro and Ramon (1985) They are continuing a seventh generation family tradition. As clowns and acrobats the family for over 300 years have been enchanting audiences all over the world. Javier, Pedro and Ramon are the first in the family, however, to perform a foot juggling act, known as the Icarian Games. It took them over five years of training, under their father Pedro Santos Padeiro to master this thousand-year-old discipline.
The Santos’ foot juggling act was publicly presented for the first time on June 2, 1993, at the Circus Bush-Berlin.
Javier first stepped on a stage at the age of one-and-a-half as a clown in the family clown act. At the age of eight he made his second stage appearance. This time in an act created by his father. Four years Later, father and son participated in the 13th Festival du Cirque de Monte-Carlo. Aged eleven he then began to train and master the art of foot juggling.
Twin brothers Ramon and Pedro Santos both first stepped on stage at the age of two, as clowns playing a saxophone in their fathers clown act. One year later whilst playing around, the twins started to sit on their older brother (Javier) feet. An idea to create an Icarian Games act came from an artist, who was performing in the same show as their father Pedro. Having no clue of Icarian Games techniques, the same artist showed them a video of the Rios Brothers, who were the greatest foot jugglers of all time. Inspired by what they saw, Javier, Pedro and Ramon decided to follow in their footsteps.
Last spotted performing with Cirque Du Soleil in Varekai.
