Talented circus performer Juan Ignacio Tula offers audiences an intense autofiction, while making use of his favourite acrobatic apparatus: the Cyr wheel. Positioned inside the three-metre diameter wheel that turns without ever stopping, he plunges the public into a whirlwind of memories from his teenage years, marked by his confinement in a drug rehabilitation centre in Buenos Aires. With self-deprecation and vibrant energy, he transforms this experience into a hypnotic solo piece. Via a camera attached to the apparatus, the audience can almost feel the pressure exerted by the centrifugal force on the performer’s body. Merging video, text, and acrobatic performance, this atypical Argentinian artist shows us how the circus can generate new sensations.
