Not opera

Gandini Juggling have currently got a couple of full-length shows on the Gandinis Vimeo page, to add to the bunch of extracts that were there already.

If you haven't seen them, I would describe them as a combination of juggling and modern dance and juggling.

Smashed Peacock is the extended version of something I first saw outside the National Theatre in 2010. Some of the bits I don't remember from then possibly need a content warning (!) for what's almost BDSM...

Twenty Twenty was also outside the NT, but in 2012 after we'd moved, and I don't remember seeing it before.

There's loads of good stuff in the shorter videos too.

This is a very short trailer for the only "opera" i had seen before we went to Venice

(It's Purcell's Fariry Queen for people, who don't understand Estonian (or indeed extreme theatrical weirdness...))
