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.
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.
This peaceful duet degenerates into an exciting duel when the lamp claims its place in the spotlight. A lamp that dances and juggles? Does that make the artist superfluous? And can they still peacefully exist next to each other?
Just the Moon is wordless circus theater with a subtle comic note that drags 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 human and machine.
For everyone from 8 years old.
‘Just the Moon’ is small but nice, honest and absurd and above all, not to be missed.’ (Pzazz)
