==Trapeze==

''By Dominique Jando''


Born in Cali, Colombia and raised in Joliet, Illinois, Pedro Carillo, Jr. is the son of the legendary high-wire artist [[Carillo Brothers|Pedro Carillo]]. When he was eighteen, Pedro, Jr. began his professional circus career as a catcher for the [[Flying Españas]]. Two years later, he joined his father’s high-wire act. He continued his training, gradually acquiring his father’s outstanding skills as a wirewalker.

Tatiana Scetkovska was born in Dagupils, Latvia. She began training in circus acrobatics when she was thirteen, eventually becoming a hughly skilled hand-balancer, contortionist, and aerialist. She and Pedro met while performing in Berlin. They decided to stay together, and Tatiana began training on the high wire. At the same time, she and Pedro worked on a trapeze act, taking advantage of both Pedro’s experience as a catcher and Tatiana’s experience as an aerialist.

In 1995, Pedro and Tatiana married. They left Pedro, Sr.'s act and went on their own with their trapeze act and a new high-wire act. They have performed all over the world, including a two-year engagement with [[Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey]], a season with [[Circo Mundial]] in Spain, and another with the [[Big Apple Circus]] in New York and other U.S. cities. Not long after their tour with the Big Apple Circus, in 2004, they separated, and their aerial act ceased to exist.
