A hexagonal aquarium stands in a public venue. Someone, dressed in a shimmering silver costume and wearing a large diving mask, steps into the water. Unlike the dolphins in a dolphinarium, he is truly happy in his aquatic world.
He takes juggling balls with him on his dive—obviously, he is an underwater juggler. As is often the case in contemporary circus, he doesn’t limit himself to juggling balls. He also includes objects that aren’t really related to juggling or even to circus. Or is there a hidden connection?
The juggler Eric Longequel previously performed at cirqu’ in 2017 with the duo piece „Flaque“ by the Cie Defracto.
