Contemporary circus in an intimate dome tent.
The Väkevä & Lyydia shows by the Agit-Cirk group take place in an intimate space in the KomsioDome tent, right next to the audience. Väkevä is a one-man show that conjures up images of the breath-taking talent shows of past eras. Contemporary circus performance Lyydia is a solo piece by acrobat Jenni Lehtinen, in which she utilises the wooden structures of the geodetic dome to move around.
Both shows are interactive with the audience, in different ways. The joint production, Väkevä & Lyydia, subtly rejuvenates the cultural traditions of Finnish circus, bringing it into modern times in style.
Total duration approx. 1,5 h incl. intermission.
Age recommendation 10+
