5 days with the Leskovac crew

Monday, 28th august, after 6 hours travelling by bus from Kumanovo, Macedonia, we finally arrived in the nice town of Leskovac, located in the middle of Serbia.

Friends from Amelie were waiting for us there, so we did not feel lost at all. They hosted us for 5 days, the time of our stay there. We met lots of nice people, all from the same crew, some of them being good jugglers. From them, we will definitly remember the kindness and the hospitality of Smiljana and Nebojsa.

About our juggling project, we had at first some problems for finding the good concept and the good spot. But when we got it, we had lot of fun, and of course lots of kids.

We did almost every night fire performances in the park, near a nice fountain with the crew from Leskovac. It was really amazing to see so many fire pojs and fire sticks being played at the same time. And the very last night, we were invited to make a fire perfomance inside of the club ABC. 

During our stay in Leskovac, our  “AJDEE” flag was made by Stefan, a guy from the local crew.Thanks a lot to him for his nice drawing ! Pijatta, EVS volunteer in Kumanovo, was our special guest. She helped us a lot, and learnt how to play with the fire sticks and 3 clubs. Also, the last evening, we had a nice surprise : the arrival of Carsten and Yoann, directly from Skopje, joining us just for one night.

It was definitly a good stop in our project, and we totally enjoyed it. And we managed to lose just one ball and one pair of pojs….:-)

Thanks to all the people we met, and we hope to come back again in this town, or to welcome them in France, for some other project…

Finally, we took the road again saturday afternoon, going back to Skopje, Macedonia, where we intend juggling workshops in the big Roma area of Suto Orizari, also called Sutka.

To be continued….
