Everything is not as it seems as Gandini Juggling return to Lancaster Arts with their new show, which draws inspiration from the connection between juggling and magic for a celebration of silliness and absurdity.
Juggling and Magic are long lost sisters. Heka (the Egyptian goddess of magic) transports audiences into a mesmerising realm, where reality blurs with illusion. It invites us on a journey where objects materialise and vanish, levitate, and transform before our eyes. Yet, beneath the surface lies a tantalising question: what is real and what is merely a trick of perception?
Heka challenges the gender stereotypes that have long persisted in the field of magic and positions women at the core of creation, no longer accessories but powerful artists who defy expectations and captivate audiences with their skill and stage presence.
Formed in 1992 by world-renowned jugglers Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä- Hokkala, Gandini Juggling continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary circus, reinventing and reinvigorating juggling for the 21st Century.
