“★★★★½ - A whimsical and charming show.”
— The Fourth Wall
“★★★★ - Genuinely unique, clever, and joy-filled, Ingrained is an absolute must-see.”
— Fringefeed
INGRAINED is a captivating circus performance, dedicated to all hand-workers. In this all ages performance, Jeromy Nuuk entwines his two professions as a furniture maker and circus artist within the intimate confines of a small rustic and dusty workshop. Through the rhythmic whir of a lathe, Jeromy crafts wooden spheres of various sizes, unveiling the unforeseen harmony between juggling and this natural element.
Amid the swirling wooden orbs, piles of sawdust and the relentless daily grind, the artist’s passion for throwing things into the air (and catching them again) takes you on a spellbinding journey that travels far and beyond his humble little workshop!
INGRAINED is a gritty tribute to the blood, sweat, and splinters that go into every handmade creation.
“There’s an irresistible charm to this gentle, cleverly constructed piece, where every small detail has been tended to with care.”
— Perth Arts Live
“The juggling of the three balls was magical.”
— Le Temps
