A row of three tables, with two chairs behind each one, stands in front of a curtain. A woman sits down at the middle table and pulls out a small white ball. The ball becomes two balls, then one again, then a red ball. Her hands become several hands, then two again. The scene continues with one person at each chair and red, green, and white balls. Thus began "Heka, Tout n'est qu'un faux-semblant", by Gandini Juggling at Théâtre La Coupole in Saint-Louis, France, this evening. It ended with the same tables behind a gauzy black curtain, with the woman doing her tricks again, but now revealing how they were done. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 3 May 2025)
