booking details

Frenchman Jérôme Thomas and German stage partner Martin Schweitzke are olympian gold medallists of their art form, juggling. With eye-popping routines and artistry, their spectacular new show blends elements of circus, dance and illusionary magic in a programme of intricately choreographed solos and duets, woven together with live accordion accompaniment by Jean François Baez. Exhilarating entertainment for afficionados and newcomers alike, Juggling Hands is a masterclass in balance, speed, harmony and object manipulation. Formidable! Jérôme Thomas first appeared in London at the 1986 Mime Festival as the star of Circus Fratellini. As well as worldwide touring with his own shows he has worked with celebarated circus troupe, Archaos, and his influence has been central to the hugely successful resurgence of circus arts in France.
