Things That Make Your Day: Mädir Eugster
5 September 2013
Mädir Eugster is an anomaly. Or maybe he is someone who has located an anomaly. His experiments with the gravity defying equilibrium, counteracting torques and extension of his own balance from living to non-living realm are phantasmagorical. He is the symbol of man’s mastery over the forces of nature. He calls himself a balance artist but to me he is a Zen of physics and a master of dance.
I came across Mädir Eugster in the latest Titan advertisement, and a simple internet look-up showed me something that absolutely made my day. Eugster performs at the Rigolo Swiss Nouveau Cirque and that goes into my bucket list. Have a look at these demonstrations (which made one of the viewers go “God, I want to report a bug”).
