Smashed

Smashed: 9 jugglers, 80 apples, 4 crockery sets. A sensational mix of skills and theatricality inspired by the work of Pina Bausch. A series of nostalgic filmic scenes exploring conflict, tense relationships, lost love and quaint afternoon tea… In Smashed, the manipulation of the forbidden fruit takes a sagacious look at the strained relations between seven men and two women, kindly flaying traditional juggling and contemporary circus.

Premiered at the National Theatre’s Watch this Space festival in 2010, Smashed is an hour long piece involving nine skilled jugglers, 100 red apples and a soundtrack featuring popular songs ranging from Tammy Wynette to Music Hall and Bach.

Formed in 1992 by world-renowned juggler Sean Gandini and champion rhythmic gymnast Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Gandini Juggling continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary circus, reinventing and reinvigorating juggling for the 21st Century. The company is one of the pioneers in using contemporary dance and mathematical notations in the field of juggling. Ferociously prolific, it is constantly creating new works from radical fusions of art and juggling, through theatrical juggling performances, to family friendly entertainment. Their work transcends cultural barriers. The simple pleasure of watching people move whilst keeping objects in the air has a natural theatrical quality that beguile audiences. Since its creation, the company has performed over 4,500 shows in 40 countries. They continue to be programmed at many of the most prestigious festivals and venues throughout the world.

There Ought to be Clowns

“There are no words to describe how beautiful the sight of 9 people juggling a whole load of apples can be… ”

The guardian

“Juggling: not just artful but art”

Ribchester

“As an indictment on human nature it's vicious; as theatre, it's brilliant”

Three weeks

“This is juggling on a completely different level; past skill, past art. Unsettlingly insane, wholly profound, moving and terrifying all at once.”
