INAZUMA

When I was a child, lightning struck my ball, which became a ball of lightning, like an electric arc piercing my being. My juggling became an inner feeling. Beyond simple geometrical figures in space, I felt that energy was circulating in my body and that this ball was following its path.

Since the late ’80s, this sphere of fire has remained with me through the ages.

This project for a contemporary music/dance/juggling show, this story told with balls, is shared with other jugglers and passed on like a draught.

François Chat

François Chat is one of the leading figures in contemporary juggling in France.

For over 30 years, he has been the author of some fifteen creations and a number of plastic installations. He is also a trainer and influences the work of various companies. Since the creation of Carapace concave, François has also invited other jugglers to join him on stage.

Starting with clip-clop in 1993, he emancipated juggling beyond the circus circle, becoming one of the first contemporary juggling artists, performing as early as 1993 in dance festivals, in 1998 at the Festival de Saint-Denis (show and music), and again at the Théâtre du Châtelet, with SEtaccio in 2002.
