The starting point of this project is solitude, a refuge for the juggler and computer scientist and a symptom of retreating into oneself. Convergence 1.0 is the visual transcription of the improbable worlds that a juggler invents. A translation of his fantasies and nightmares, he is the victim of games of illusion and appearance that he himself set up. The ambiguity between dreams and reality reveal the fragility of the individual. Convergence 1.0 is the point where fantasy and fantastic reality meet. Technology contributes to questioning certainty and breaking reality. Different approaches and subjectivity fool the spectator. Visual tricks and illusions lead him to doubt what he is seeing. Convergence 1.0 project is an experiment where juggling and computer sciences are the central theme of research. They are no longer elements serving a narrative framework; they are both the crux and the subject of the show, essential in their relationships and their developments.
