Juggling and Magic are like long lost sisters. So similar and yet so different.
Gandini Juggling returns to Lighthouse with their new show, Heka which means the Egyptian goddess of magic.
This captivating performance blurs the lines between juggling and illusion, transporting audiences to a mesmerizing realm where objects materialise, vanish, and transform. The show poses a tantalizing question: what is real, and what is simply a trick of perception?
Heka blends humour and philosophy, with contemporary choreography and world-class juggling as it reimagines magic through repetition, counterpoint, and misdirection.
Moreover, Heka explores the dynamics of group magic, probing the possibilities of multiple hands and gestures in a choreographic context. Delving into the nuances of delay and anticipation, the performance invites viewers to reconsider the ritual of spectatorship and its impact on satisfaction.
Above it all it is a celebration of the silliness and absurdity of entertainment, a homage to the delights of the absurd.
