Meanwhile

Meanwhile is a world that mirrors today’s culture and makes merry with all the pointless ways in which people can spend their time.Two jugglers test the spectator’s understanding and the way in which our values might change simply by doing something considered as unnecessary.

Blueberry Burdock

Expressed through a combination of visual theatre, object manipulation, and comical absurdity, Blueberry Burdock dances playfully in a place of limbo.

We are very happy to welcome Jakob Jakobsson to Helsinki next week! Together with Teo Lanerva and Viivi Roiha, Jakob will be working on his project Insomnia Cirko - Center for New Circus. Insomnia is a circus performance in the borderland between contemporary circus and light design, and explores our relationship to time, how subjective it is, and the value we place on it. Using stroboscopic lights and aerial rope, Insomnia creates fragmented images that challenge both time and gravity.Nuua is one of the proud co-producers of this work, that is one of the finalists of Circus Next 2025. The team is sharing their project on 2nd of December at 15:00 at Cirko, Helsinki. Join us to see the project off to it's final destination in Belgium, where Insomnia will premier Cirkolabo Festival on 17th of December.

In his work in the contemporary circus, Leinonen merges the boundaries of live performance and electronic music, enjoying close collaboration with artists#sounddesigne#sounddesigneri#sounddesigningg#nykysirkusi#sirkusi#nuuacompanym#konstaleinonennTanssin talo talo ...

Who are we ?

“We understand the circus as a unifying element of all castaway forms of performing arts. A circus is a place rather than a definition of its forms. It is a place that hosts with open arms all artists who can’t find their place anywhere else—a refuge for innovations and new experiments.“

Cherry picked reviews

With their experimental performance, Vuorinen and Lindberg take juggling to completely new dimensions, where almost anything seems possible. Visually, Vaarna is like a beautiful and vivid modern painting, which is shaped by two skilled jugglers.

Annikki Alku, Demokraatti-Magazine

You’d think jaws would drop at the innovative techniques, but in addition Vaarna is so incredibly high-quality, polished, downright luxurious.

Niina Jääskeläinen, Teatteri&Tanssi+Sirkus-Magazine

Sense-numbingly experimental juggling.

Annikki Alku, Demokraatti-Magazine

Hede shakes up the notions of the circus as a tricks and beautifully guides us towards the bigger questions.Hede is a sensory-pleasing, highly visual wholeness that tempts you to surrender and be carried away.

Pasi Huttunen, Kulttuuritoimitus

A hypnotic journey into the world of enchanting objects.

Eeva Kauppinen, Kaleva newspaper

The performance offers landscapes of volatile and light, a poetic and dreamlike material that inclines to travel and to wandering thoughts beyond memory and memories, past and present, future projections and recurring dreams.
