Just The Moon (8-108y)

A duet between juggler and light, a duel between man and machine. For everyone from 8 to 108 years old! in the context of season opener CTRL+TOEKOMST ‘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. Then suddenly… a glitch? A technical error? Or is the lamp developing a will of its own? The peaceful duet degenerates into an exciting duel in which the lamp claims its place in the spotlight. A lamp that dances and juggles? Does that make the artist redundant? And can they still coexist peacefully? ‘Just the Moon’ is wordless circus theater with a subtle comedic note that carries young and old into an imaginative world full of suspense. At the same time, ‘Just the Moon’ also touches on current themes such as technology, autonomy, and the increasingly blurred boundaries between human and machine. An ideal introduction to circus theater. The relationship between classical and modern is palpable in all layers. Close Call Company is a multidisciplinary company that strives for 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. Press ‘Just the Moon’ is small but nice, honest and absurd, and above all, not to be missed. – Tom Permentier, Pzazz Player/maker Raff Pringuet (Close Call Company) | Light design/Techniek Tuur Decoene | Outside-eye Margot Jansens, Geert Belpaeme and Marie Peeters | Composition/Muziek Stan Nieuwenhuis | Kostuum Julia Gut | Scenografie David Carney | Fotografie 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, CC Mortsel, Circus Ronaldo, Circus Werkplaats Dommelhof, Korzo (Den Haag), De Clinge, MiraMiro, MAD Festival, Stad Leuven, the Vlaamse Overheid, Het Oude Badhuis (Antwerp), Schouwburg Luchtbal, De Naarstigheid / A special thanks to Batist Van Baekel, Pieter Visser and Mieke Laureys First rehearsal images - 'Just the moon' in creation
