The circle is a reflection on movement, fluidity, and tension—on how these elements combine harmoniously through art to create balance within an apparent chaos.
The Cyr wheel, although in essence a perfect circle, has a natural tendency to fall. Yet, when the artist propels it with their innate strength, we witness it dancing, swayed by the laws of physics, defying its natural purpose of collapsing, and taking on a new purpose beyond its original form. This transformation, achieved through the channelling of energy, is not only present in this performance but in every aspect of our lives.
In this case, the circle (the wheel) becomes a vessel for the artist’s energy. Each viewer is free to draw their own conclusions from this analogy.
Created in Madrid for Cirque du Soleil, and exhibited in Valencia between June and August 2025.
