Lacritaphium takes its name from two pieces by the Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner — Lacrimosa and Epitaphium, from an album Preisner wrote in mourning for a close friend. The sadness living in that music pulled the juggling material out of Noah: the act emerged from listening, almost of its own accord.
What emerged has since become the most-performed piece in his repertoire, refined over years and grown lighter with every season — he now plays it for children as readily as for late-night theatre audiences. A seed of the original melancholy remains inside it, which may be exactly why it works: seven minutes of pure juggling, no technology, no ensemble — one person, a handful of objects, and the laws of physics.
