Cosmo-Cosmetics is a new project of juggler Stefan Sing and sound-designer Alex Lempert. 

At its core, it is a journey of images—poetic, absurd, humorous—inviting the audience into a universe where matter invents its own stories. A wordless storytelling that draws its imagery from tables, everyday objects, and malleable clay. Objects cease to be what they are supposed to be. Tables tilt into landscapes, tools transform into characters, and clay mutates endlessly—sometimes fragile, sometimes monumental. The familiar becomes strange, inviting new ways of seeing. Juggling hides beneath the surface of the action, revealing itself not as virtuosity but as secret life: objects slipping, colliding, balancing, as if they carried their own desires. Let go of everything you think you know about juggling, then it can appear everywhere.

 

Cosmo-Cosmetics is impossible to reproduce in the same way twice, as It exists in a state of fluidity, adapting and evolving in response to its environment and in response to the always changing interplay between the juggler and the musician.
