Duo Kate & Pasi
Katerina Repponen and Pasi Nousiainen started to work together in 2010. Their passion for hand to hand acrobatics naturally brought them together. Pasi graduated from Circuspiloterna in Stockholm, while Kate studied at Further Education Center in Lahti. Together, they then went on to improve their technique in a one month workshop at Kiev Circus Academy. The originality of their hand to hand and foot juggling act allowed them to compete in the ”Golden Karl” International Circus Festival in Latvia 2014, where they won a silver prize. They have also had the opportunity to work in many traditional circuses, contemporary circuses, variety shows, street performances, and theatre productions in Europe and the USA for companies such as Cirque Eloize, Krystallpalast Variete and Sirkus Finlandia. The versatility of both artists helped them in the creation of their own 45 minute contemporary circus show, “SUHDE”. Kate and Pasi want to continue diversifying their projects, from big shows, to creative projects, so they can pursue their passion for circus in every respect. ” Pasi Nousiaisen ja Katerina Repposen pariakrobatia on tunnetusti hengästyttävän upeaa. ” (Helsingin Sanomat ) “Tätä olisi katsonut pidempääkin! ” (Aamulehti) ” Varman päälle viihdyttävää.” (Helsingin Sanomat) ”Another new act was acrobatic jugglers Duo Kate & Pasi.
