"Inside Juggling” focuses on the relationship between people and their media image: it is about authenticity, changing perspectives, staging and self-optimization in today's world. With clubs, camera and live projection, Dutch circus artist Liza van Brakel twists her and our perceptions of reality. She transports the audience into a world of colorful images and visual manipulations, full of unexpected moments and choreographic finesse.
