Sisus Sirkus: Memoirs of Mud – Helsinki Circus Festival

Memoirs of Mud is an absurdly playful contemporary circus adventure, where acrobatics, mud and imaginative objects collide the natural and the artificial. Nature and artificiality – two supposed opposites – come together in Based on Kimberly’s Memoirs of Mud . In a playful, provocative, and adventurous circus show two performers explore nothing less than life in all its complexity. Relentlessly and with acrobatic virtuosity, they navigate through sterile living environments and muddy terrain. They balance on swinging trapezes and fight with antlers made of ginger, transform handbags into greenhouses and potatoes into crowns. In this bizarre universe, there are no limits to absurdity and playfulness.
