Company Portmanteau: PYYKKI – Lost in Laundryland

It all begins with a missing sock

PYYKKI – Lost in Laundryland is a contemporary circus show for all ages, where Company Portmanteau teams up with artist Helga Stentzel to uncover the age-old mystery of the missing socks. Blending circus, dance, puppetry, and new magic, the show follows two friends on a quest through a surreal world filled with playful characters and visual surprises.

”An original performance by renowned artists offers everyday magic”
– Helsingin Sanomat

 

In 2024, the director and co-performer of the show, Luis Sartori do Vale, became the first circus artist to receive the title of Artist Professor for five years and a scholarship.
