Metsä – The Forest Project is a site-specific and mobile circus performance. A truly unique experience, it weaves together a number of circus skills, including pair and solo acrobatics in the air, on the ground and between the trees. Nature itself is the third, and highly important, performer in this show, with the forest setting ultimately shaping the course of the performance.
