8 Songs
A tribute to rock'n'roll
Put on your leather jacket, grab your air guitar and follow Gandini Juggling on a walk through the Rock ’n’ Roll hall of fame. Stunning juggling performances are woven into a series of choreographed vignettes that form a striking unity with the selected pieces of music – from Bob Dylan to Velvet Underground, David Bowie or the rocking, joyful anthems of the Rolling Stones.
In 8 Songs, London company Gandini Juggling stages juggling as a raw, powerful piece of contemporary circus - sexy, surreal and skillful at once. The show grows crescendo-like through masterful solos and duets to a powerful finale with the full six-member ensemble. Each song conjures up a special atmosphere and takes us into its own little microcosm, as raw and elating as rock'n'roll itself. Don’t be surprised if you leave the theatre with a bit more "Sympathy for the Devil" at the end of the day.

"A really georgeous show - it is fun, it is sexy, it is inventive."
Exeunt Magazine
