Zirko Pazzi Ragazzi

Zirko Pazzi Ragazzi is a brisk contemporary circus performance – a story about two relentless friends, whose number one priority is their own circus and most of all it’s audience.

It is a hilarious adventure through air, fire and unbelievable virtuosity. Horses, spanish acrobatictroupe, italian charm and an incomprehensible amount of flying objects is created on stage by two artists, Matti and Petteri.

To these guys nothing is impossible. Suprises occure and accidents may happen but the show is allways performed till the end.. What ever it takes!

Jakob’s Circus

Jakob’s Circus is a story about dream’s and believing in them.

Jakob’s dream was his own circus. A dream took him through fire and wind and as result is his own one man show. In Jakob’s Circus big crew, huge tent and animals are replaced with Jakob’s boundless innovativiness and sincere will to bring joy for the audience.

”Magical story!”
