From Upright Walk to Daily Trot
Running and juggling: RUNNERS is a vivid circus show, which celebrates movement and coordination. Kept hostage on their treadmills, two jugglers are being made to take part in ever changing games and tasks by a musician. From his desk he determines the rhythm and pace of play, always changing the sequences to keep the jugglers in his grip.
The running itself is already a physical effort. When they throw and catch, pass on to each other and throw off each other, the game becomes a sweaty and complex challenge.
With their piece, Hippana.Maleta shows the evolution of man from a stooped to an upright gait to the modern man who is caught in his daily routine.
