Gala evening/ The First Enclownter

Sirkus Magenta

Sirkus Magenta, supported by Nordic Culture Point, is pleased to invite you to the First Enclownter: Clownery for Social Inclusion seminar.

Clowns and circus artists from around the world unite for a fundraiser performance. Their passion for bringing joy to others brings them from as far afield as Chile, the US, Europe and Australia. It's a one-off gala evening of clownery, acrobatics and high-jinks!

The gala performance is part of the First Enclownter seminar, held in Helsinki from 7.-9. November, 2014 -- the first official Nordic meeting of clowns working in social circus. The long-term goal is to create a network in the Nordic and European area for clowns working in the social arena.

All profits from this fundraiser performance go towards Sirkus Magenta's activities with Helsinki Deaconess Institute's Vamos project for youth at risk. Standard tickets cost €16.50 but special supporter tickets are also on sale for €50 if you'd like to make a larger contribution. If you or your organisation would like to make a special donation, please contact .

All the artists featured in the gala performance work in social circus - bringing joy to refugee camps, hospitals, elderly homes and children and adults around the world.
