As a fire-juggler I would consider myself a bit as an addict. Additected to beautiful moments. To being with myself. To movement. To joy. To learning, sharing, adrenalin and laughter.
So what does an addict do, if he has send the object of his desire with a package home before travelling to Iran? (because the addict was sure that the combination of silver kettle and lampoil-burned kevlar would not be held as an object for fun but as a weapon if once found by a police or border control (although there hasn't been one single check of my luggage on all my travels through Iran, so I could have taken it with me...)
He invents new ways to play.
This picture shows it poorly, but I will explain to you what you would have seen if you had travelled with me, like my travel companion.
At night the parks are full. First with families, who go out for a nightly picknick. Then later mainly with men, who are smoking hubble bubble (that's the iranian name for shisha or nargile, waterpipe...how ever you'll call it). To keep the hubble bubble glowing, they use a small basket made out of rabbit kettle, to put in the glowing coals and to swirl it around to make the coals glow again.
'Haha!' the clever addict thought 'that look just like pois!' and went up to one of the youth, asking to try it out just for some minutes. After some tries, the clever little addict was successfull and had two of them!
And then the little addict, which was me, played poi with the hubble-bubble-coal-shakers in a public park in Shiraz, Iran. What a fun! I guess the guys have never seen their coal in such a movement!
