Cavities and Voids

NEW MAGIC CIRCUS PERFORMANCE / THE ROOM/S

HR (48’)

One juggler on stage and one technician at the control desk, white balls and theatrical lighting. Cavities and Voids is a contemporary circus, juggling and new magic solo performance that collages seemingly unrelated ideas — the conscious and the subconscious from the juggler’s inner world, interpreted through light, movement and balls.
The performance is the result of Domagoj Šoić Kuga’s long experience in the circus, both as an artist and as a technician. A parallel life in front of and behind the stage merges through five scenes, questioning the relationships between the juggler, the ball, the technician and the technology, while establishing new hierarchies and posing the question: who or what controls, who manipulates?
This play of roles and shifts of perspective leads the audience to the final scene — the moment when the juggler himself emerges fully illuminated.

Domagoj Šoić has been engaged in circus and street art for almost twenty years and about a decade ago began working as a lighting designer and technician for circus tents. As a performer, mentor and light designer he has collaborated with numerous circus organizations and institutions in Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia and France. On the circus scene, he is best known under the nickname Kuga.
