Perfect timing is a performance in creation where manipulation of objects is a pretext to friendship. It’s a show about absence and a passion for juggling. Sharing these precious moments with a friend is the biggest gift of our limited lifetime.
Perfect Timing is a non-linear journey through time, an absurd collection of true stories and dangerously funny, unpredictable stage actions.
But above all, Perfect Timing is an autobiographical work, featuring two friends who share a unique skill.
​
Namer and Juan have been balancing objects on their heads for years.
It started as a ball. Each one, in a different corner of the globe, took it everywhere on his head: train stations, airports, cinemas, while eating, dancing, in public and in private.
When they met in 2011, their shared passion immediately led them to become friends.
As the years went by, the ball was no longer enough; it transformed into home appliances, bicycles, objects that spin and power up.
​
9 years later, Perfect Timing was born from the desire of these two artists to share their unlikely stories, such as the first soccer World Cup with a ball on its head.
​
Perfect Timing aims to surprise its audience on many levels, while following a clear dramaturgical path. It's a show that takes a fresh approach to “all ages”, in which parents burst out laughing, sometimes even louder than their children. Perfect Timing is designed to be seen by everyone, everywhere, from theaters to non-dedicated spaces and even outdoors.
