Case

When a juggler invests a space of freedom where improvisation is king and where the public is king, anything can happen. Mental, spatial and musical freedom draw the thread of a show that never unfolds in the same way .

Juggling without aiming for perfection is a 45-minute show offering juggled improvisations under various operating protocols . Performance oscillating between the one man show, the conference and a great discussion full of confidences. Here we juggle with balls, diabolos, the body, the universe and words.

// Statement of intent

You have to prepare the public for what they are going to see. Explaining what an improvisation is is ca-pi-tal. Explain that possibly nothing may happen. Possibly, it may not be interesting.

It is necessary to explain to the public that there is a real risk-taking in the undertaking of this unprepared adventure. Knowing this, the gaze placed on the artist and the improvised moment is different from that which one poses on a “standard” show.

The audience and the artist create this moment together. The artist by his movement and his tools. The public by its attention and its energy that it sends back and that it gives to this moment of suspension. Without sharing, no beautiful moments, no response, no flop, no sincerity, no exploits, no sensitivity, no history, ...
