Hats 2 Heads
Keeping Company [Be]
hat juggling
2 circus artists. 10 hats. 1 ladder.
It all begins when everyone has arrived. Two jugglers come together, creating more than what they could create on their own. The movement, the juggling, the rise and fall of the hats. Together it takes on a language of its own. Turning juggling technique into human interactions enables moments of stillness, humour, and gripping excitement. More hats in the air, less feet on the ground. A rope circle creating a space to share a moment in and around.

The artist
Keeping Company [Be]
Keeping Company was founded by Ezra Weill in Brussels in 2024. Through circus, the company immerses itself in atmospheres of the past (cassettes, swing, etc.) with the aim of offering shows and artistic forms that stimulate connection, whether between the audience and the artists or the members of the audience. .

Fuelled by his interest in music and dance as well as exploring his circus disciplines, Ezra is always looking to see how these different art forms can co-exist on stage in his work with Zirkus Fahraway (CH), his own creations Hats 2 Heads, Boombox, Jitter and other projects.
