Peak Performances' 2018-2019 season of genre-and-convention-defying performances continues with Smashed, Gandini Juggling's acclaimed work inspired by the choreography of Pina Bausch, directed by Sean Gandini and assistant directed by Kati Yla-Hokkala. Smashed is set at a tea party with a group of mild-tempered, buttoned-up attendees, juggling apples in perfect, cordial unison-until their movements reveal and give way to growing, often gendered power tensions in a crescendo of destruction. Set to a soundtrack ranging from Bach to Louis Armstrong to Tammy Wynette, the Gandinis display a virtuosic blend of skills, precision, and theatricality that leaves the audience breathless. Formed in 1992 by world-renowned jugglers Gandini and Yla-Hokkala, Gandini Juggling continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary circus. In 2016 the company contributed juggling choreography for the Olivier Award-winning English National Opera (ENO) production of Philip Glass's Akhnaten. Prior to their Peak Performances engagement, Gandini Juggling has been working with MSU mathematical sciences professors Mika Munakata and Ashuwin Vaidya to develop a juggling classroom module for their National Science Foundation-funded project called Engaged Learning through Creativity in Mathematics and Science. Smashed comes to the Alexander Kasser Theater at Montclair State University (1 Normal Ave., Montclair, NJ) December 13-16.
Comedy, circus and music are on the programme as St Helens Theatre Royal as the venue gears up for a November to remember.
