Are these not the Loradar (or Lorador) Brothers from Portugal, who wowed Cirque du Soleil audiences for years here in the USA both in Saltimbanco and then at Mystere in Las Vegas? I believe they first appeared with RBBB for one year as well, before CdS scooped them up. I saw Mystere in LV over Christmas and their act was replaced by a different set of muscle men who attempted their act, but they were nowhere near what the original brothers presented. The new boys couldn't move smoothly & effortlessly from one trick to the next and they couldn't hold the poses either. This is an act where the originals will never be replaced or even imitated with the same class. I wondered how CdS was able to pull this off in the first place. The Loradars should sue!
