Valpuri Kaarninen started her career as a professional circus artist when she graduated in 2014 from École Superieure des Arts du Cirque in Brussels with Maria Peltola and Ronja Vilponen. In the circus school they created an original trapeze act where two catchers swing and toss one flyer. In 2015 the act was awarded with a silver medal at the 36th Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain in Paris. Afterwards the trio has been working for example with the world famous Cirque du Soleil, Garmany’s largest variety company GOP and street theater festivals in Korea and Israel. In 2015 Valpuri established a circus company called Sirkum Polaris and their first performance will premiere in 2019.
