Ville Walo & Kalle Hakkarainen: Discussions

A new circus show by Ville Walo and Kalle Hakkarainen, Discussions looks at communication and the lack of it through juggling, puppet theatre and dance, as well as film, object manipulation and magic. Movable projections create choreography for the entire stage. Time and different levels of reality blend and mix when the performers, captured in the present, encounter the world of 1920s silent films. The show is accompanied by new, colourful music composed to order by Kluster, the band of Kimmo Pohjonen and Samuli Kosminen. Ville Walo, juggler, and Kalle Hakkarainen, magician, are new circus practitioners whose previous work have earned them international acclaim.
