"a jaw-droppingly complex blend of dance and juggling... It’s also playful, spellbinding and often exceedingly beautiful"
Financial Times 5 Star review of LIFE, LIMF'22Award-winning contemporary circus company Gandini Juggling celebrates its 30th anniversary with this special production, co-commissioned by the Festival.
Co-founder/directors Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala invite us to enter the joyous, complex world of juggling and choreography with this eye-opening user guide to their performance. It’s an animated self-portrait of a pioneering duo and their company, with a repertoire of some thirty productions staged more than six thousand times all over the world.
Like all their work The Games We Play is a celebratory exploration that asks what is juggling and what can it be? And what is art and what can art be? You’ll be dazzled and delighted as they answer these and other questions in inimitable, gravity-defying style.
“Life has a serene beauty, a geometric poetry, that satisfies the eye and dazzles the mind. There’s a pure pleasure in the cleverness of all this; the performers are uniformly transfixing, their smiles utterly infectious. It feels like a very good way to start the year”
Observer 5 star review of LIFE LIMF'22“Gandini Juggling’s charming tribute to Merce Cunningham launched this year’s edition of the London International Mime Festival in high style... the compact performance has been assembled with… unpretentious charm, skill, wit and warmth”
The Times 4 star review of LIFE LIMF'22“Thoroughly absorbing, and breathtakingly elegant... Juggling is so often seen as lowbrow, but in the Gandinis' hands – literally their hands – it becomes art, refined and aesthetic”
