DANGER!
Danger!
Danger! Danger!!! The Zukes are stressing the word “Danger”…
it’s a good word, Danger!
The Zucchini Brothers not only like the “word”,
they put their physical selves at risk to provide their audiences with
this sense. Seven flaming torches juggled with a surprise crotch catch
at the end (no surprise for those of you reading this now). They work
with bullwhips, machetes, garden weasels, and even Spam to bring live
excitement to the technology-over-stimulated public. A big part of their
show, The Ten Most Dangerous Objects to be Juggled Throughout History,
is performed on elevated “danger teeter boards of death” (rolla-bolla’s).
Really, the Zucchini Brothers have trained to give the most in the safest
way possible. They have learned and heeded the advise of some of their
contemporary performers. Hack and Slash advise the youngsters in their
audience that “some of the things observed in their show should
not be tried without another child about their own age.” Good friend,
and fellow Minnesotan Tuey, says, “Kids, I should tell you that
much of what you have seen here today is very dangerous and should not
be tried at home…but that’s where I learned it. Hey, they
don’t teach this stuff in schools.” The Zukes respect and
believe in these statements.
