The story of a juggling pig; another about monks who juggle their way to enlightenment in Bhutan; the feats of a three-armed showman; the existence of a trick so dangerous we can’t risk seeing it – some of Sean Gandini’s tales might be too tall to be true, but it’s all part of the games he plays.
Having started out performing on the streets of Covent Garden, Gandini founded the company Gandini Juggling 30 years ago with his partner (on stage and off), Kati Ylä-Hokkala. Their work brings together juggling and choreography; they have made ensemble shows inspired by dance legends such as Pina Bausch and Merce Cunningham, and worked in collaboration with contemporary choreographers including Seeta Patel and Alexander Whitley.
