Tickets: £10.00 - £22.00

Drawing inspiration from the intricate connection between juggling and magic, Heka (the Egyptian goddess of magic!) transports audiences into a mesmerising realm where reality blurs with illusion. The show transcends boundaries, inviting spectators on a journey where objects materialise and vanish, levitate, and transform before their eyes. Yet, beneath the surface lies a tantalising question: what is real and what is merely a trick of perception?

Infused with a captivating blend of humour and philosophy, Heka marks a departure for Gandini’s renowned repertoire. Director Sean Gandini, whose artistic journey began in Havana half a century ago, revisits his magical roots in this hybrid performance.

Embracing elements of contemporary choreography, Heka reimagines magic through the lens of repetition, counterpoint, and misdirection. Conversely, it explores how magic principles can inform choreographic expression, challenging conventional notions of performance.

Above all, it is a celebration of the silliness and absurdity of entertainment, a homage to the delights of the absurd.

Praise for Gandini’s show LIFE (2022)

‘There’s a pure pleasure in the cleverness of all this; the performers are uniformly transfixing, their smiles utterly infectious.’ (The Observer, ★★★★★)

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
