Throwing Balls at Night is inspired by Jeux, a 1913 poème-dansé (‘danced poem’) created in collaboration between Claude Debussy, Sergei Diaghilev and Vaslav Nijinsky, which features a young trio frolicking during an evening game of tennis. Miliani’s performance re-imagines these flirtatious ‘games’ through a mixture of gestures and attitudes created in collaboration with divaD Magnifique, Prince Maya Magnifique, Benjamin Milan and Eve Stainton.
