Looper

2023–2024, stage performance for two performers, 40 minutes

location_on video


Created in collaboration with circus artist Elena Lev, Looper is a meditation on presence, skill, time and play.

For 30 years, Elena has been performing the original hula hoop act that she created at 11 years old. It has happened on many stages and in many different contexts around the world, but always in the form of a 5-7 minute number. An experience which she describes as an ‘explosion’. Together we have been exploring what might change if she had more time.

Spinning a hoop requires both skill and persistence. How does one continue — for minutes, hours, years? How does one find renewed interest with each revolution? Beginner and virtuoso, we both must find our own answers.
