LLABYELLOV
A multi-format, juggling solo in 5 colours: white, yellow, magenta, cyan, black.
Openly abstract, between Malevich and Kandinsky, but with an ironic and surrealist character à la Norm MacDonald.
We begin by talking about Erik Åberg's definition of juggling. Then the order of the material is decided to move further and further away from this definition, up to the ultimate essence of juggling: the jellyfish.
A "Folk Circus" [Jay Gilligan] style collage of juggling, music (live and otherwise), silence, lights, costumes, jokes.
Lots of jokes, but very little laughter :'(
Finding objects with special skills, exploring them, composing them, re-exploring them, mixing them with other objects, recomposing, ad infinitum. It is the object that reveals its "truth" [Michael Moschen].
The simple pleasure of discovery, of observing something fragile, laughing at a stupid joke, audience and artist together.
