Artefakt
Kapsel
A juggling journey through natural history where ancient artifacts are used to demonstrate skills and tricks.
Two jugglers have acquired an impressive collection of extraordinary objects: from 250-million-year-old dinosaur eggs to meteorites, crystals, and a 20,000-year-old mammoth bone. Each artifact carries a story, and the performers share fascinating facts about its history and place in the development of the world. Jay Gilligan and Erik Åberg create an unlikely yet beautiful connection between archaeology and the art of juggling.
After the performance, a short workshop takes place, followed by a small exhibition where the audience can touch and explore these unique objects.
