The circus of illusions – Between juggling and neuroscience

Between fall and control
A unicycle performance that explores the fine line between balance and loss, between mastery of the body and the inevitability of error. Through suspended movements, sudden accelerations, and deliberate instability, the performance plays with risk and the limits of human capability. Viewing balance not as a stable state, but as a continuous, precarious, and deeply human process.
