In Abuja: French jugglers to perform at the Transcorp Hilton on September 26


The French Institute, in partnership with Transcorp Hilton, is glad to invite you to a juggling show to be performed on Thursday, 26th September 2013, by French artists Guillaume Martinet and Minh Tam Kaplan from DEFRACTO COMPANY (photo above, culled from Institut Français Nigéria). Time is 7:00pm. 

Defracto is a new performing arts company whose ambition is to develop a language using juggling and the body. According to them: “Our practice of juggling is graphic and rhythmic. We seek to create visual impressions, abstract patterns of dots and lines, with moving objects. Our work is primarily concerned with composition in space and time, creating an abstract, moving image on stage."

"Circuits fermés" is a research work on duo juggling’s technique and writing on stage, wherein one person observes the other’s obsession and, rather than trying to correct it, decides to experience it with him. 

Seats are limited, so don't forget to get a ticket at the French Institute, or call 0805 947 8456.
