Video, 7:50 min (loop), colour, sound
A video of an action staged at a central crossroad in downtown Belo Horizonte. From high above, one sees jugglers with fire torches performing in front of waiting cars at a red light. Whenever the light is about to turn green, the artists leave the street, but they immediately return once the lights are back to red, repeating their show. With each sequence two additional jugglers join the group. And finally, when eight of them are performing simultaneously, blocking the full width of the road, they simply continue juggling even though the lights have signalled go. In no time at all an infernal chorus of horns builds up.
