PAST SHOWS
The Painted Wagon (2016)
Unrequited love story, The Painted Wagon, was set in the pioneer days of the Wild, Wild West, its narrative woven through saloon brawls, high-speed pursuits and raucous shoot-outs - in which we participated as bartenders, juggling bottles of whisky, the props of our trade, at a pace to match the show's fast and furious unfolding.
Akhnaten (2016)
In early 2016, we reunited with Gandini Juggling as part of the skills ensemble for the stunning ENO production of Philip Glass’ opera Akhnaten. We also helped choreograph the ensemble, which had a choric role in the production, using the language of juggling and ritualised movement to dramatise the life and ideas of the Egyptian Pharaoh.
War and Peace (2011)
Directed by Irina Brown, this ambitious 2011 show by Giffords used animals, acrobats and all manner of stunts to loose the spirit of Tolstoy's epic novel into the ring. Joined by Tweedy the Clown, gravity-defying aerialists, a scene-stealing hand-balancer, and Brian the goose, we played two drunken Russian soldiers, and earned our applause by juggling flaming torches and wine bottles.
