Business Overview

A solo circus performance performed on a short summer night using juggling equipment called a diabolo. As you enjoy playing with the tools, before you know it, a performance using expert juggling techniques begins and the precious short night falls. The challenge is to create a new solo juggling work using light, color and the weightlessness of juggling.
