The group began performing in 1878, when Pablo was only three and he performed as a clown. In 1884, they were touring in Buenos Aires, with the Circus of Humberto Primo.

His script about Moreira was performed in a 42 performance streak in Montevideo in 1889. Later that same year, the brothers premiered at the Teatro San Martin, where Pablo, now 14, was performing in acrobatics and fell from the trapeze, which required a three-month recuperation.
