Prospera brings Romeo and Miranda to witness the Balance Goddess creating a world in equilibrium with a mobile made of thirteen palm leaf ribs. An ode to balance, her movements are slow, deliberate and almost meditative as she concentrates all her attention on this literally breathtaking structure. And then she removes the smallest piece, everything disintegrates and the young couple’s trials begin.

In "Sanddorn Balance" (sand and thorn), a truly breathtaking experience unfolds. Lara Jacobs Rigolo, Balance Goddess, uses thirteen palm leaf ribs to build a fragile, giant mobile – a sculpture consisting of a number of rods, from which weighted objects or further rods hang. The objects hanging from these ribs demonstrate the Greek mathematical Principle of the Lever, balancing each other so that the rods remain more or less horizontal, but never falling (or so we hope!)

Presented in a slow, suspenseful build, we can only sit and watch in awe as Lara grabs each rib with her toes and gently balances her growing sculpture upon it, her head, and later a stand above her head! (Her mobile serves as inspiration for the hanging lamps throughout the big top). An ode to balance, her movements are slow, deliberate and almost meditative as she concentrates all her attention on this literally breathtaking structure. And when she removes the smallest piece everything disintegrates and the young couple's trials begin: will Romeo fight for Miranda?
