Rollercoaster
Surrounded by giant blue inflatables and accompanied by electronic music composed of roller-coaster samples, Wes Peden presents an innovative juggling act inspired by roller coasters and their high-tech safety belts. A Chinese plate ceremony celebrates the greatest rides of the past; an epic disco three-ball routine evokes the evolution of roller coasters; a 4-meter transparent tube wraps around Wes' body to create loops, helixes and corkscrews through which he brilliantly passes his balls. Rollercoaster defies the traditional rules of showmanship to create a sense of security for some of the most challenging juggling acts ever performed on stage!
