NouNous is now the OuNous Festival! <p>NouNous is now the OuNous Festival!<br>NouNous Festival, organised by Kallo Collective in Cirko since 2017, is a festival of wordless physical comedy.

Os their own rules, the nauNous!<br>Cirko - centre of the new circus gently embraces comedy lovers, and this year's package includes international and Finnish guests from both Sweden and Spain, including talents from Finland.</p><p>The week starts with Lotta &amp; Stina's charming “20 years later, still here!”. This duo has been working together for 22 years, and you can say that the entire spectrum of life with ups and downs fits into this performance.</p><p>VAL – performance and light sculpture – that fills Maneesi, is big bones and LED lights. VAL is an entity envisioned by Tom Brand, member and artistic director of the Swedish circus group Svalbard. Tom Brand and sound wizard Tuomas Norvio will be the first to work with VAL. The second pair is the acrobat Marina Cherry and Risto Puurunen, known from the band Cleaning Women. Both of the pairs work independently creating an improvised piece in and around the installation.</p><p>We also have a programme suitable for the whole family. Red Hot Condition - Company Afterclap's first work, brings to the festival a giant dose of energy and world-class circus via Nelli Kujansivu and Aaron Hakala directly from Stockholm. Nelli and Aaron breathe life into the 80s colour world with lycra and humour, not only for themselves, but also for their audience. The fitness phenomenon gets a ride in the hands of these experts. Helsinki premiere!</p><p>The Swedish company Kapsel and its virtuoso jugglers Erik Åberg and Jay Gilligan bring the show Apparat to the festival. The playful humour of the work delights both adults and children. What sort of surprises can be found behind everyday things? Amazement and joy reflect a shared experience together.</p><p>Festival’s house artists work the whole week and give us samples of their work on Saturday's OuNous Soiree.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cirko</p><p>7.-10.12.2023</p><p>Tickets 5-40€ from Tiketti</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Restaurant services are provided by Stadin Panimo</p><p>The schedule of the festival: www.kallocollective.com/ounous-festival2023</p>
