Just the moon, 8+ - Close Call Company

Just the Moon is a surprising and physical circus and light spectacle in which juggling, acrobatics and light play come together. Raff Pringuet shares the stage with a modern, motorized theater lamp. A human and an object in search of who or what they can be together. A duet between juggler and light, a duel between man and machine. The artist throws, rolls and catches himself and a few juggling balls with fluid precision, while the lamp uses its extensive range of light, colors and movement to create a visual whole. Body, ball and light play a harmonious game of appearing and disappearing. Just the Moon is wordless circus theater with a subtle comedic note that sweeps young and old into an imaginative world full of tension. At the same time, ‘Just the Moon’ also touches on current themes such as technology, autonomy and the increasingly vague boundaries between man and machine. Close Call Company is a multidisciplinary company that strives for the synergy between different art forms, balancing between control and chaos. Raff Pringuet specialized in the combination of ball juggling and acro-dance. He previously performed with, among others, Sinking Sideways, TeaTime Company, Circumstances and Cie Grensgeval. “Just the Moon is small but nice, honest and absurd and above all, not to be missed.” - Tom Permentier - Pzazz van Raff Pringuet (Close Call Company) - light design/technique Tuur Decoene - outside-eye Margot Jansens, Geert Belpaeme and Marie Peeters - composition/music Stan Nieuwenhuis - costume Julia Gut - scenography David Carney - photography Lily Schlinker/Lize Vermeulen - video Fidel Rott- co-producer PERPLX - with support from Cirklabo/30CC, Latitude-50 - pôle des arts du cirque et de la rue, local government Mortsel, Circus Ronaldo, Circus Werkplaats Dommelhof, Korzo (Den Haag), De Clinge, MiraMiro, MAD Festival, StadLeuven, the Vlaamse Overheid, Het Oude Badhuis (Antwerp), Schouwburg Luchtbal, De Naarstigheid and deAuteurs - a special thanks to Batist Van Baekel, Pieter Visser and Mieke Laureys
