How do you juggle your past, present, and future selves without dropping the ball?
In her one-woman autobiographical busking show, Lucy Eden interweaves circus, humor, poetry, and personal narrative to explore identity, gender, and our capacity for transformation.
“Lucy Juggles: a performance of Circus, Self and Other” is an origin story, chronicling a journey of gradual self-discovery: fear, repression, acceptance, and celebration of the authentic self. This love letter to the liberating power of performance includes juggling, knives, unicycles, and fire.
Lucy Eden is a veteran Atlanta performance artist, unicyclist, juggler and transgender visibility advocate. With a background in street performance, her passion for bringing circus arts to pedestrian spaces has been life-long. She has performed in solo and ensemble productions in Atlanta, and across the US. Her shows combine storytelling, virtuosity, and a unique queer southern charm.
Performances will be outdoors at Little Five Points Center for Arts and Community [1083 Austin Ave NE, Atlanta GA 30307] during the first two weekends of November, 2021. COVID-19 safety measures will be in place, and limited seating will be provided. Audiences are encouraged to bring their own chairs, blankets, etc.
