Mantra

Concept, Direction, Music Direction

Genre: U-Wheel-Balance

Artist couple Olga and Valeri Jemez hired me to create a joint number for them. She is a Hand-on-Hand acrobat and he is a Gymnast.

I had previously admired an interesting prop in a theatre performance, a permanently installed structure shaped like a capital letter "U". However, I hadn't found any use for it so far, but kept it on my mind.

Now I had the piece built from carbon fiber for them and voilà, the "U-Wheel" and MANTRA were born.
