The internationally acknowledged contemporary Finnish circus group Circo Aereo brings on the stage master mime Marc Gassot with Lion – The Weird and Magical Abracadabra Circus Show. This tribute to circus is spiced with brilliant sprinkles of pantomime and shades of splatter movies. It is a wonderfully deranged concoction of tongue-in-cheek comedy, animal taming, magic and clownery.
Stage: TTT Eino Salmelainen
