Gandini Juggling

Gandini Juggling, a pioneering contemporary circus company founded in 1992 by Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, brings its acclaimed show *Heka* to the Center for the Arts. With over 6,000 performances in 50 countries, the troupe redefines juggling by blending it with magic—objects vanish, reappear, float, and transform in a performance that balances high skill, surreal humor, and pure wonder. The production is described as clever, charming, and endlessly entertaining, earning praise from *The Times* for its “delightful blend of high skill, silliness and surrealism.”
