Les Fauves is a two-part juggling show performed under a bubble tent. This tent is both an immersive work of art and a cocoon for precious, overflowing juggling. A sort of space station for juggling exploration.
The first part is a menagerie: the big top and its surroundings can be visited like a museum. We come across juggling with the soles of the feet, underwater juggling, juggling from afar, trance juggling.
The second part is a celebration of impermanence: a battle against gravity and oblivion, won only for the duration of the show, only under the big top, only under the spotlights. Because in the end, as in real life, the objects fall away, we’re all a little older, and what’s happened is gone.
Like wild beasts, the jugglers didn’t choose to be here. They are subject to their acute passion for throwing and catching, and can’t escape it. They’ve trained themselves to do a number that they play over and over again, because they can’t help but do over and over again what may one day be their best juggling act.
Compagnie EaEo
Ea Eo was founded in 2009 by Bram Dobbelaere, Jordaan De Cuyper, Sander De Cuyper and Eric Longequel, and was joined in 2014 by Neta Oren.
Juggling and rotten jokes are the two languages that are at the heart of the company’s work. We play at talking about anything and everything with this particular vocabulary.
