Jochen Schell is an avant-garde juggler!

In his special way, Jochen Schell elevates juggling to an art form. He handles the rings and watches their movements with an intense alertness. Clearly he is just as fascinated as the audience with what is happening to them under his spell. Is he moving the rings, or are the rings moving him?

Rolling, jumping, floating rings form surprising images.

From his experience gained on international stages and the constant search for simple but expressive images, he composed this ring performance. Working at times with only a single ring, then building up more complex patterns, Schell always moves in the field of tension between actor and object in space.
