SIRKUSKISSA
2024, THEATRE ACADEMY, STUDIO 1, HELSINKI, FINLAND
A wonderful horror cavalcade of obsessions, violence, love and magic.
A herd of pranksters led by Sirkuskissa (eng. Circus Cat) arrives to delight the everyday life of a nondescript small town with their magic tricks. During the show, their attraction, Ajatustenlukija-Aino, becomes aware of a secret plot that could take the lives of the entire village. Only the circus can save the day. In front of them, however, they have the fiercest of opponents: three-time City of the Year winner Taavi Kokko, head of the waterworks. A devilish game of cat and mouse begins, where no spattering of blood or villainous hooks is spared. With love and catching criminals, everything is allowed – even what goes beyond the limits of the possible…
Sirkuskissa is a macabre and bittersweet show of illusions, monsters and everything that scares you when the doors close and the lights goes out. The magic is here. It has come to save you.
