The Royal Barge carries the Twins to the festivities as they play on the deck. They are entertained by the court with a martial arts demonstration of strength and agility, including Wushu, Chinese Opera, and Brazilian Capoeira. The Twins display their musical ability with a light-hearted duet on flute, while the Nursemaid entertains guests with a lively Flamenco dance. Just beyond their peaceful kingdom, imminent danger lurks as Archers and Spearmen prepare to attack.
To escape the Archers and Spearmen, the Nursemaid drags the Twin Sister onto a boat and they escape by sea, only to encounter a massive storm that capsizes their vessel. The specially-designed boat structure weighs almost 1800 pounds and the rocking and turning movements are completely manipulated by the artists onboard.
The Nursemaid falls into the depths of the rough sea followed by the Twin Sister who plunges to rescue her. Air bubbles are created through interactive video projections triggered by infrared sensors that react to the movement of the artists.
The Archers and Spearmen celebrate their victory while their prisoners languish. The Counselor's Son introduces his diabolical creation, a machine that grinds bones with the magical ore to unleash the destructive power of fire.
Following the boat's sinking, the Twin Sister, Nurse and Valets are reunited on a golden sandy beach. They encounter giant sea creatures, including a silly turtle, mischievous starfish, curious blue potato bug and a playful crab. The human-sized puppets are designed to accentuate the acrobatic proficiency of the performers while maintaining the animals' natural movements. The sand is created using 350 cubic feet of granular cork.
While guiding the Twin Brother away from danger, the Court Jester distracts the frightened boy by teaching him the art of shadow puppets. These simple yet poignant gestures represent one of the earliest forms of story telling.
The Twin Sister, Nursemaid and Valets must climb a steep cliff with the Archers and Spearmen giving chase. The artists' movements are choreographed to follow the movement of the stage as it rotates up to 12 degrees per second, as well as showing off its lifting motion, which produces artists' falls up to 60 feet into unseen air bags. The 80 "arrows" that appear to strike the surface are extendable pegs synchronized with the artists' choreography.
The Twin Sister is rescued by a fur-clad Mountain Tribe, who also discover the Nursemaid wandering aimlessly, and reunite the two. The tribesmen show off their climbing prowess by manually ascending 50 feet to join their fellow tribesmen on the mountaintop, as created by the Sand Cliff Deck in its upright vertical position. The accompanying video projection of the frozen cliff face reacts to the performers' movements to create falling rocks.
Facing the threat of a merciless storm, the Mountain Tribe transforms their simple tent dwelling into a miraculous man-powered flying machine and escape the storm with the Twin Sister, who is precariously hanging more than 50 feet above the ground. The bird's flight circles over the audience before descending into the abyss. The bird's flight is created using four winches to control direction and one load-bearing winch to carry the weight.
The captured Twin Brother is imprisoned. Just as things seem hopeless, he discovers a friend in the Chief Archer's Daughter. After sharing a tender moment, she sets him free and then expresses her flirtatious desires through a touching performance using the Twins' flutes.
Bright luminous creatures inhabit a majestic forest, which is also the home to larger-than-life bugs, flowers and a stunning 80-foot snake. The Firefly Boy glides and dives as he performs aerial acrobatics and is soon joined by the Twin Sister when she plummets from the flying bird into his world. Together they perform an aerial duet and make a special connection. The Forest People are agile high in the trees performing on bungees and soaring through the trees.
The Twins are joyously reunited at last and the prisoners overtake their evil captors as the Wheel of Death takes center stage in an awe-inspiring display of gravity-defying feats. The two artists balance and control the spinning of the apparatus from their opposing cages attached to the center axle. As one runs and jumps on the outside of one cage the other controls the speed by walking or running inside the other cage.
In the culmination of their extraordinary journeys, the Twins are joined by the Firefly Boy and the Forest People for the final battle against the evil Archers and Spearmen, led by the Counselor and his son. The aerial perspective of the battle highlights the adversaries as they soar through the air, traveling up to 50 feet, and move perpendicular to the ground. The choreographed movements of the 16 artists are achieved through individual high-speed winches controlled through a wireless remote in each costume. The scene is further intensified by the interactive video projections triggered by the artists as they make contact with the battleground.
Triumphant in battle, harmony is restored to the empire. Being blinded in the battle has allowed the Counselor's Son to see the error of his ways. His gift to the kingdom is a spectacular presentation of fireworks to illuminate and unite in peace.
