SHOWS ON TOUR
"Humanity in the guts of gravity"
O'DD is an adventure story of humanity in the guts of gravity. It plays with the laws of physics until they bend and one can break free from their grasp. Through wordless acrobatic movement and object manipulation, the essence of humanity is altered, the individual is cut into layers and imagined anew.
#kepparit #hobbyhorses
Chevalier is a solo contemporary circus show based on the world of the traditional horse circus shows performed with hobby horses. The show includes traditional circus disciplines such as acrobatics, juggling, balancing and clownery – all performed with the unparalleled style of Kalle Lehto saturated with humor and the movement quality of a breakdancer. Original music by Sami Tammela and video art by Christoffer Collina.
Motosikai
"Flying men and a van"
Motosikai pushes through absurd scenes of skill, action and laughter with unstoppable energy. The show is a parody of itself and brings quality entertainment and enjoyment to all kinds of human lifeforms. Who would've believed you could fit three acrobats with a teeterboard and so much of twisted humor, endless acrobatic tricks, a cyborg and a ton of other suprises in a simple van?!

Race Horse Company and the techno-collective Drapes 247 join on the stage creating a unique club of live music and contemporary circus.
"Amazement, laughter and excitement!"
