"Biographies" is a one-of-a-kind spectacle where a juggler performs inside a circular ring, his every thought and fear voiced aloud by a rapper through rhymes and punchlines. At 160 beats per minute, balls fly and bounce while the performers weave together grocery lists, stage fright, and precious memories into an intimate, high-impact exchange of circus and urban poetry.
