4 X 4: EPHEMERAL ARCHITECTURES
Tracing pathways in space, four jugglers and four ballet dancers share a stage for the first time.
4 x 4: Ephemeral Architectures explores the intersections and divergences of juggling and ballet, as the performers trace pathways in the air and on the ground. Jugglers and ballet dancers move in synchrony and counterpoint, creating complex patterns of movement and rhythm that dazzle the eye and intrigue the mind. The stage becomes a canvas for their imagination, a space where they can experiment, collaborate, and transform their craft.
