Winter Circus Super

When the superheroes of the circus come together, it’s the start of an amazing adventure! World-class circus skills and live music for all ages.

In the universe of Winter Circus Super, the good guys, the bad guys and the ordinary do their tricks in the battle arena of the Dance House Helsinki. There’s acrobatics, magic and mind-blowing moves on the streets and rooftops of the city. Live music is provided by circus band Ninja Beat, whose explosive rhythms give the superheroes extra power.

Circus artists and musicians from Australia, Finland, South Africa, Italy, China, Mexico, Switzerland and South Africa. The disciplines include trampoline acrobatics, martial arts, clowning and aerial acrobatics.

Directed by Sanna Silvennoinen. Find out more about the planning team and the performers here.
