About Heka – Gandini Juggling
Directed by Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala
Everything is not as it seems.
Juggling and Magic are like long lost sisters. So similar and yet so different.
Gandini Juggling returns to Oxford with their new show, Heka which means the Egyptian goddess of magic.
This captivating performance blurs the lines between juggling and illusion, transporting audiences to a mesmerizing realm where objects materialize, vanish, and transform. The show poses a tantalizing question: what is real, and what is simply a trick of perception?
Heka blends humour and philosophy with contemporary choreography and world-class juggling as it reimagines magic through repetition and misdirection.
Above it all it is a celebration of the silliness and absurdity of entertainment, a homage to the delights of the absurd.
