.. Originally The Harris Sisters were a trio. But after a year member three refused service and spend, according to hearsay, the rest of her working life as a calm and satisfied municipal official. Unfortunate but not insurmountable. Peke & Mo decided to go along, finally, they knew each other for so many years. In the winter of 1983 the three-headed parterre acrobatic act was rebuilt into one for two. Peke had already jumped around as a classic ballarina, did mime and street theater. Mo competed, made the people laugh in a cabaret group and was the front woman in a female rock band with the frightening name The Vendettas. Both took lessons at the circus school Osmani, akta the sisters Schoen(shoe) in Amsterdam, moved to the East to take acrobatic and clown lessons at The National Circus School of Joe Andy, aka Willy Klomp (wooden shoe). The school was situated in the Spijker (nail) buurt, once a illustrious whore district in Arnhem. Willy gave them the first of the many contracts that would follow. Ten years later it was over; the women felt themselvs worn out, especially lifting became inhuman heavy, travelling tiring. Both once had muscles of steel, the straps around their upper arms are sizes too big now. To do one of their former acts has become an impossibility.
Now adays the former Harris Sisters, aka Peke & Mo are running a circusschool, teach young and old gymnastics and both still are trully amazed and delighted when they discover a sophis-ticated new circus act ..
