Distillations is a solo contemporary juggling show from the mind of Luther Bangert - a multimedia and multidimensional journey through the ground state of the juggling universe. How does the horizontal inform the vertical, and vice versa? Highlighting parts of the juggling process that are often only a means to an end - the suspense of a peaked throw, a resting object, a dropped object, and the moving human body above, below, and through it all, we are invited to explore the realms between inner and outer, and wonder at the transformations inherent there.
