“Balance”, a short film directed by Tobias Hutzler stars Maedir Eugster, the 58-year-old “balance master” and co-founder/director of Rigolo Swiss Nouveau Cirque, a performance art troupe based in Switzerland. Eugster, clad only in pantaloons, spends the video building a temporary sculpture, based on a single feather. Using 15 bare palm frond spines, he balances each proceeding object on the tip of the next, until he’s holding a massive kinetic sculpture overhead. Like any good performer, he kicks it up a notch for the finale by balancing the entire form on the tip of an upright frond. Then, thanks to physics, the whole thing collapses without Eugster’s steady hand. It’s like watching a Calder mobile blow apart in the wind.
