The Fabulous Tale of BasarKus is a dazzling display of juggling and acrobatics.

BasarKus is like no other creature. He has two heads and many arms and several legs. He is happy playing the guitar with four hands, rolling about and juggling.

But BasarKus isn’t one but two! As the performers realise they are separable, they start exploring their own special talent, as acrobat and juggler. Like inquisitive children, they learn from each other and form new mischievous combinations. Their games help them discover their own body and identity, and the wonder of growing up.
