Juggling in life

“If street art does not run in the family but it is a grown-up choice, juggling somehow always implies, for many among us, a form of break up from what you were before, the search for a new identity, at times the beginning of an actual spiritual journey”.
Say goodbye to the family, leaving for a foreign country with a small caravan, living on the streets, all in order to follow a dream, that’s the life of Aimilios and Regas, young street artists, who have left the Greek island of Rhodes to become jugglers, and learn the circus arts in Italy.
Their lives are unlike each other but intertwined, gathered around clubs, traffic lights, in a square or in the evening, after hours of training, in a look, in front of a pasta dish, a glass of wine, with a candle and a few friends.
They live by the spontaneous support of the public, and face every difficulty, with the certainty that in life, they don’t want to do anything else, and that despite their art will not make them rich, it will make them free.
