Blind Gut 9½ Year Anniversary Festival

Unpredictable Celebration of Contemporary Circus

12.-14.4.2024 Cirko, Helsinki

Circus group Blind Gut Company is celebrating its nine and a half years of operation by organizing a totally surprising and absolutely mind-blowing weekend festival at Cirko – Center for New Circus in Helsinki. The festival will feature Blind Gut’s three beloved works that are ready for international touring.

Transparent Surfaces

Acrobatic farewell ritual to consumer culture

If everything around us collapsed, what would be left of us? Transparent Surfaces is a breathtaking contemporary circus journey in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Acrobatic encounters between the performers and scrap metal create unprecedented and strange circus art, accompanied by the mysterious sound of a guzheng, a Chinese string instrument. A contemporary circus gem that has been honed for a long time and has deeply touched its audience can be seen again in Helsinki!

Maannos

Cyber shamanic journey in a plastic forest

Immersive artificial forests are grown on stage when video art intertwines with object manipulation and juggling on this cyber shamanic journey. Solo performance of Tuomas Vuorinen is a personal quest to find meaning and fulfilment by re-establishing the connection with nature. A mysterious dream from childhood is his guide in the search for the source of vitality.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish

Underwater circus adventure for babies

Twinkle Twinkle Little Starfish is a circus performance for babies and toddlers. Together the audience and the performers dive into the world below the waves where they encounter playful and mysterious sea creatures in a sense-tickling environment. The piece has delighted children and adults more than 70 times already, for example as part of the City of Helsinki’s Culture Kids project.
