“Balledanse”:
(E) With her act “Ballédanse”, Jeanine offers you a glimpse into her playful world, where hands and feet invert their roles and the ball travels over her gracefully moving body – A unique combination of high skill contact juggling and fluid movement.
Very adaptable, Jeanine has performed in tiny theatres and huge Circus rings, for children as well as corporate managers: the magic of the act mesmerizes them all!
(F) Plongées dans leur univers intime et éphémère, l’artiste et sa balle nous convient au rêve pour un moment de complicité fragile. Entre équilibre et déséquilibre naît un dialogue de douceur ou le pied devient main et le corps s’offre la balle. Instants magiques, jeux de gravité et points de suspension façonnent avec grâce un numéro touchant et poétique.
(D) “Balledanse” ist ein zaertlicher Dialog zwischen Ball und Koerper, ein Moment des Spiels und der Begeisterung fuer Gross und Klein.
