DE LA GUARDA (June 16, 1998) an Argentine theatrical troupe, soars 40 feet above the audience in this entertaining combination of circus and performance art. The play is meant for a mature audience in where no children under the age of 8 were permitted to watching the show. The entire audience stands and moves throughout the 70-minute show. And people should wear casual clothes as the show uses water, mist, and fog. The spectacular theater wowing people all over the world and ended up making a debut in the big apple to the point it started to become popular to the big stars of holly-wood.

"DE LA GUARDA"
"A theatrical equivalent of the X-treme sports phenomenon, "De La Guarda" consists primarily of bungee-bouncing performers and raucous, percussion-heavy, techno-pop accompaniment. The Argentinean troupe has landed in Las Vegas, the latest in a string of nonverbal, nonnarrative acts -- part vaudeville, part avant-garde -- to class up the performing arts in Sin City." Variety

"PERFORMANCE ART REVIEW; Happiness Is to Fly And Swing And Slam"
"First they appear as speeding shadows behind a ceiling scrim, like celestial messengers whizzing across a fluorescent firmament. Then dangling heads breakthrough from above, and the true mayhem begins."New York Times

"On Going For It"
"Cast members would somehow appear amongst us, embracing onlookers, gesturing emphatically, spitting out animated staccato gibberish. Rhythmic music captured the wet atmosphere, great sheets of colored silk wafted in the air amidst the flying people who chased each other, running sideways in midair, defying physics, inverting gravity, fooling our senses, defying reality."Time Goes By
