Presentation

Les Fauves is a juggling show in two parts. It takes place under an inflatable tent, a kind of space station for juggling exploration. For the first part, spectators are invited to visit the menagerie: there is juggling with the soles of the feet, juggling underwater, juggling in a trance... The second part is a celebration of impermanence, a fight against gravity and oblivion, a fight that is only won during the show, under the spotlights. Like wild animals, the jugglers did not choose to be there. Victims of their passion for juggling, they have trained themselves to do a number that they perform repeatedly, unable to stop themselves from doing the movements again and again, leading to what perhaps one day will be their greatest moment of juggling.

The Compagnie Ea Eo was founded in 2009 by Jordaan De Cuyper, Sander De Cuyper, Bram Dobbelaere, and Eric Longequel. Neta Oren joined the company in 2014 for the creation of the show All the Fun. The director, Johan Swartvagher, later joined the company for the creation of Les Fauves. Juggling and lame jokes are the two languages that are at the heart of the company's work.
