Performance contrasts two artists’ styles
In In Difference, Jef Everaert and Marica Marinoni explore contrasting approaches to the Cyr wheel, a large hoop used in circus performance. Everaert, known for his calm and balanced style as a juggler, contrasts with Marinoni, an acrobat who embraces instability and the edge of falling. Their performance merges object manipulation, acrobatics, and a dynamic relationship with gravity.Collaborators and creative team
The performance includes contributions from Juan Ignacio Tula and Francesco Sgrò, who provided artistic collaboration. Alexander Vantournhout, Marie Ballet, and Guillaume Servely supported the dramaturgy, while Bernard Revel designed the lighting. Francesco Sgrò also worked on the sound design, and Iorhanne Da Cunha and Emma Assaud created the costumes.Production and institutional support
