Theatre 2012: Shoeshine, written and performed by Luigi Ciotta • This show brings us face to face with Giuseppe Talamia, a humble Sicilian who has left his homeland and taken up shoe shining.

Three clowns discuss “the rich history of cinema” in conversations that border on the absurd and the just plain mad. Their ruminations range from the technical to the origins of silent cinema, go through parodies of the great films of history to end up in renditions of some very famous sound tracks performed live on saxophone, clarinet and … fishing rod. Truly musical. 20052007 : Splendor Hotel, Theatre/circus company 4Quarti • Contemporary circus. A group of tourists end up in an abandoned hotel and find themselves having to deal with a crumbling building, wobbly beds and a manager who’s not quite up with the times … Aerial acrobatics, acro-balance, juggling and clowning are the order of the day here.

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.

The Busquitos

The Busquito’s bieten eine ansteckende Mischung von brilliant gespielter Musik verbunden mit einer wirbelnden Show. Sie sind eine verrückte, spaßige und großartig swingende Band, die Jedem ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht zaubert. The Busquitos spielen ihre ‘Jazzy, mit Tom Waits-ähnlicher Stimme gesungenen Tunes’.... Und wenn die Stimmung es erlaubt, begeben sie sich ‘wireless’ unter die Leute und spielen eine Serenade, organisieren einen Limbo-Act oder Line Dance oder begeistern das Publikum dafür, bei ihren Ohrwürmern mitzusingen. Hochklassiges Entertainment, sowohl für die Jüngsten (Ausmalbilder und in-die-Tasche greifen), die Ältesten (Mackie Messer, Tico) und jedes Alter dazwischen.

Lukas Besuch - Clown, Mime, Performer

In meinem Spiel sind Sprache, Schminke und Kostüm auf das Wesentliche reduziert. Ich lege den Fokus auf kleine Gesten sowie alltägliche Situationen, in denen ich das Groteske und die Poesie des Scheiterns beschreibe. Von kurzen Nummern für Varieté, Zirkus und Gala bis hin zu ganzen Shows, abendfüllend oder passgenau für einen Event zugeschnitten.
