Les Objets Volants
Jugglers' Jugglers. French company Les Objets Volants are juggling nerds, innovating with spreadsheets and formulae and theoretical juggling patterns. Expressing their art and technique at its purest they can be inscrutably complex (for a non-juggler), but the company also work with specially designed objects, in that crossover point between juggling and puppetry/manipulation, and in 2006 teamed up with Circo Aereo to make one of the most famous and widely toured works of recent years, Espresso.
