China Series #1, #2, #6, #7

Julian Vogel completes his training as a juggler at ACaPA in Tilburg this year. His research has focussed on the construction of Diabolos with exceptional materials and on the expanding the role of the audience in performance. He shows his ideas in both Aarau and Zurich.

#1 20Min., Zirkusquartier Zürich
A six by six-meter square is marked on the floor with white tape. A maximum of 48 spectators enter the square as does the actor. With the help of diabolos which incidentally are built from porcelain shells, the artist develops a dialogue with the audience.

#2 Alte Reithalle, free entry, entrance free
porcelain diabolos, not in the air but incessantly circling on the floor.
Sa 8. June, from 22 PM to 24 PM

#6 20Min., Alte Reithalle, entrance free
The audience takes the stage, where large bowls, rebar, ropes and small rolls are lying around. A performer drills, assembles, hangs up and builds his object.
Sa 8. June, 10 AM

# 7 Bar im Stall, Exhibition, entrance free
Porcelain Diabolos are fragile. Following the Japanese tradition Kintsugi, Julian Vogel sticks broken pieces back together with golden glue thus alienating his creation from the original object.
