Does somebody know this art?
Unatkozol? - Videa
Because I saw one like this now first.
I believe it possibly some Indian thing.
This is not our neuropathic society's product certainly.
The balance is a fragile thing.
The smallest thing turn it over.

The Art department at the University of Maryland would have loved it in the '60's.
I agree with the gentleman from Canada. Rather Zen though.

I saw a street performer dressed as Charlie Chaplin do something very similar with walking sticks in Vegas a good few years ago, so I suspect it's a long standing circus act. The Asian style performance is a nice theatrical touch though.

I believe the balancing act could be put into a broader category of juggling (like plate spinning), but equilibristics seems to be the most precise term for this performance art.
