Encounter of contemporary circus and contemporary dance, tragedy and acrobatics on stage! Works by two internationally well known artists, Susanna Leinonen and Sanna Silvennoinen, will take the viewer into the world of physical virtuosity.
Susanna Leinonen Company: Romeo & Julia
Susanna Leinonen Company presents a new version of the 2012 premiered Romeo & Julia before it heads to the Dance Salad Festival in USA. Choreographers Susanna Leinonen and Jouka Valkama have created a rendition where two families and two ways of movement meet and become one. The work combines death and love as well as dance and moving picture – composing a visual and physical interpretation of the beautiful story of Romeo and Julia.

Circo Aereo: Mano
Mano e tono, a hand and a sound. With the motion, the silent body of an acrobat bends, pauses and falls. Circus artist Mika Kaski and musician–composer Tapani Rinne combine their talents in this piece where meandering soundscapes follow the path of the acrobat rising to the highs.
