Here’s what Diego wrote in his video submission.
Your future performance concept:
"My glow club version of this act will take on a mystical, ritual-like energy. I'm deeply inspired by sacred geometry and ancient myths, especially the tale of Prometheus receiving the divine spark of fire—a symbol of art, movement and transformation.
In this performance, the light becomes a force that awakens me. At first, I follow it. Then, I manipulate it. Eventually, it wraps around me and merges with my body, becoming the source of my movement and power.
With programmable LED clubs, I aim to draw shapes in the space, creating sacred, hypnotic patterns that echo both cosmic order and inner transformation. The trails of light will visualize geometry in motion—living mandalas made through juggling, acrobatics, hand balance and contortion.
Glow programming will be used not just for aesthetics, but as a narrative tool, reflecting shifts in energy and character."
Other notes on future performance ideas
"Theme and character: A ritualist, a channeler of light. My character represents a in communion with energy, awakened by the gift of movement. The piece references Prometheus and sacred fire as metaphors for artistic impulse and creative transformation.
Music: I'll use "Mándala" by Blastoyz—a fusion of tribal and electronic, with deep ritual rhythm and futuristic sound design. It gives the performance a timeless feeling, perfect for connecting ancestral energy with modern glow visuals.
Costume: I have a LED costume that will complement the clubs. Together, they will form a complete light-being visual, enhancing the immersive impact.
Stage and venue: This act is designed for variety shows, nighttime street performances, or immersive cabaret-style settings. It can adapt to indoor or outdoor environments and connect deeply with the audience through visual symbolism.
Additional performance elements: I plan to integrate acrobatics, contortion, and hand balancing into the act—not as separate tricks, but as part of a continuous movement language that flows with the juggling.
Sustainable energy: I also work in a circus duo where we perform with fire. We want to adapt that act to a full LED version, to stop relying on kerosene and move toward cleaner, safer, and more eco-conscious performances."
