CIRCUS ARTIST | SLACK WIRE | JUGGLING
Juggling and slack wire seems to me like the perfect combination. On one hand, the objects that fly create an atmosphere of magic, while on the other, balancing in the slack wire keeps you amazed. In this combination I see the possibility of creating an act that will fulfill me as an artist.
