Splash (6+) in collaboration with childcare 2Samen & Dak Kindercentra

Splash is a circus performance by Jam.Shenanigans, a juggling duo consisting of Batist Van Baekel (2000, BE) and Henri Kangas (1998, FIN). The two met during their studies at Codarts Circus Arts in Rotterdam and quickly shared a passion for object manipulation.

Splash centres on a swimming pool filled with 25,000 balls. Water sports and cannonballs form the starting point for a juggling feast full of object manipulation, physical theatre and visual illusions - driven by humour and playfulness. The performance takes the audience into an absurd dream world, as a counterbalance to the seriousness of everyday life.
