If juggling seems dusty to you, think again! We are here to prove the opposite and invite you into an ultra-modern fairy world! Here are some explanations to guide your thinking.
Light juggling: spectacular and high-tech beauty
In light juggling, or light juggling, artists use specially designed objects, such as balls, clubs, sticks, hoops, or other accessories (called poi). Luminescent, fluorescent, or LED, these objects can produce color changes, flashing patterns, or bright trails.
Jugglers perform their usual figures and movements, thus creating spectacular visual effects in the dark or in low-light environments. A natural phenomenon of retinal persistence will subjugate your guests during the performance. Indeed, rapid and fluid movements combined with colored lights and luminous patterns leave traces in the spectator’s eye, forming striking images and visual illusions: logos, first names, symbolic dates, or any other text will appear as if by magic!
Light juggling is ideal for a stage show or an event evening. Imagine a birthday or a wedding illuminated by the dexterity of our jugglers! Your guests will leave dazzled, with images burned into their retinas!
Pixel Poi: juggling with light
Originally, the masculine word “poi” comes to us from the Maori. It represents a training tool for warriors: a bag filled with sand or seeds, attached to the end of a string. Women used it for tribal dances. Manipulated by two people, Argentines turned them into utensils for catching cattle by throwing them: the “bolas” that we know well in the entertainment world.
The “poi” has therefore become a common medium for juggling. With practice, artists are able to handle them with dexterity and perform increasingly sophisticated and acrobatic figures. Depending on their material and use, these utensils will be used to perform spectacular tosses or more traditional combinations. But then, why “pixel”?
Because modernity has invited itself into this ancestral juggling practice. For your evening event, when the twilight has set in, it is a magnificent alternative to fire breathers or more classic bolas. Our Eklabul artists will wander throughout the evening between the tables before your amazed guests. Nevertheless, you can treat them to a custom-made stage performance, with high-energy music, during which your Pixel Poi visuals will appear rhythmically.
High-tech technologies make this discipline an extraordinary entertainment medium: programmable sticks will control the light sequences of the bulbs. The juggler will manipulate them in the dark and bring an infinite number of possible patterns to life. But do not be mistaken: behind light juggling hides an artist of great dexterity. It is a performance that will dazzle children and adults alike. Guaranteed effect on the retina and… on the minds of your guests for a very long time!
Juggling, an ancestral art
Juggling is an ancient practice that has existed for several millennia and continues to be practiced and appreciated by many artists and amateurs around the world. The first representations are mentioned as far back as ancient Egypt: images of jugglers have been found on wall paintings dating from around 2000 BC.
Later, in the Middle Ages, this skill was reserved for jesters and court artists or practiced by street performers. These jugglers used balls, clubs, but also knives and already, flaming torches to perform their shows. Of course, juggling has evolved over generations. It has developed as a full-fledged art and discipline. As you have seen while reading these lines, it now encompasses a wide variety of techniques and styles.
In the twenty-first century, it has been beautified by the magic of lights to enchant both young and old.
