Every juggling act has an effect on the audience.
They may laugh, hold there breath, clap along with the rhythm or look the other way. Or, very rarely, they may just sit there in silence, without applauding in between , just hoping that it's never going to end. Which is what happened at the performance I saw recently by Duo Bondarenko, who have now become my current favourite juggling act. Sensual, beautiful and skilful, the act is performed by a dancer and a juggler moving on a transparent drum. He juggles, her arms and legs somehow intertwine and catch, till at act's end he is effortlessly fielding seven balls with her, an intricate part of the experience - two bodies as one.
