Pan-Pot is three jugglers
with
a pianist
on stage and a huge supply of white juggling balls,
a mannequin (sometimes)
, and nothing else. Lit with painterly care and extreme restraint, the jugglers in
dark suits
, Pan-Pot takes the method of
deadpan clown
and develops its
rhythms of anticlimax
and silence within a completely abstract structure.
Sometimes it seems there''s scarcely a juggler who''s not deeply interested in mathematics and the sizeable body of music that closely abuts it. Whether it''s an industrial robot-arm, or wooden benches statically matching, or
(in this case) Bach
, jugglers can be relied on to reach far
outside the usual circus repertoire
and, in the nerdiest instances, to let that music score the technical aspects of their work. Music-driven performance by three awesome jugglers.
