Two geniuses. But it’s not juggling or German that unites them. It’s the way they laugh.
It was destined to happen at some point: The paths of Müller and Müller cross
Jörg grew up in Germany, Roman in Switzerland. Both have been juggling since their youth.
It just makes sense for them to work together: Their common language [German], their shared dedication to the science of juggling, their shared experience of otherness (working and living where a different language is spoken), and sheer madness.
One graduated from the CNAC (Centre National des Arts du Cirque, the state-supported circus college) in France, the other from the Scuola Teatro Dimitri in Switzerland.
Their common starting point is the contradictory compulsion to create the new out of the old, and the sacred out of the profane. Neither Roman nor Jörg started their training as revolutionaries. They’re both part of a circus liberation movement that allows them to explore, to experiment, to not know exactly where they’re going. But in a manner of speaking, they don’t really know what they’re doing. They just do it.
