Get to know the team behind Billionaire Dubai’s captivating show…

Togni Brothers

Michael and Dario are two brothers that descend from one of the oldest Italian circus dynasties: the Togni family. Their act, Icarian Games, is a traditional yet very rare circus acrobatic discipline and takes its name from the greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus as it expressed the human desire to fly. The performance is traditionally played by father and son, as the flyer is usually not heavier than a kid, however the brothers seek to challenge this as 85kg Dario impressively flips through the air.

Maria Hinojosa

Maria Hinojosa lives to be on stage. Having started rhythmic gymnastics at a young age, she went on to study ballroom dancing and compete in international competitions. Not only does she light up the stage every evening, but she also brings her creativity to the creation of the show, helping to coordinate and choreograph, as well as perform. Her powerful presence on the stage adds to the dramatically orchestrated show and helps to create an unforgettable experience for guests. Keep an eye out for her mesmerising flour performance.
