CIRKO - CENTER FOR NEW CIRCUS: VESA PUROKURU - VEITSENTERÄLLÄ
15.-19.2.2017, Cirko - Center for new circus, Kojehuone (building 8), Suvilahti

This contemporary circus monologue is an autobiographical account covering the journey taken by a village school teacher as he goes on to build a career as an organisational consultant for major businesses before becoming a crippled circus artist. Narrative-driven, improvised contemporary circus tale is told through clownery, acrobatics, physical theatre and dance.

The production turns its wondering and benevolent gaze to observe the main protagonist’s passionate journey as he makes his way towards his dream, which grows ever more distant with time. The dreams, which crystallise as they continue to elude him, bring the protagonist to a confrontation with themes such as faith, resilience, doubt, failure and ageing.
