1970 – the year of Jeton, born in Frankfurt/Main,
Germany. While honing his juggling skills, he finds time to pass his high
school exams. From there he goes on to the Ecole de Cirque de Bruxelles,
where he graduates successfully.
Decisive, however, for the further development of his career is the influence
of his mentors: the two jugglers, Arthur Caral and Rudy Horn from Germany,
and the Dutch gentleman juggler Constant. They pass on the experience
gained in their long performing careers, greatly enriching Jeton’s repertoire.
1992 – Jeton ventures out into the world. For four years he features in the touring
variety show ET CETERA. Jeton not only receives the audience’s adulation,
but also wins first prize in a competition organised by Circus Roncalli
in 1997, and a Special Prize at the Festival du Music Hall in Paris in 1998.
Performances and repeat bookings follow in such well known venues as the Apollo Theater
in Düsseldorf, Circus Krone in Munich, the Palazzo Spiegelzelten and the
GOP Variety Theatres, to name but a few. Jeton also brings the art of gentleman
juggling back to the international stage. Audiences at the NGK theatre in
Osaka and the Hacienda Hotel in Las Vegas, aboard American cruise ships
and in the presence of Margrethe II, queen of Denmark, are enthralled by
the modern style in which Jeton presents this noble art. Now
the only active exponent of gentleman juggling, Jeton enjoys worldwide acclaim.
