Petit Mal
”..Finnish contemporary circus is never going to be the same after this! What we have seen is something truly excellent and extraordinary.”
Jussi Tossavainen/Helsingin Sanomat

Petit Mal's building blocks are black humour and collisions. The traditional form, poetry and soft movement of contemporary circus are challenged through randomness, dream-like logic and the menace of violence. Petit Mal is a part of our disintegrating culture and world.

”Finnish contemporary circus has taken a great step towards the top of the world”
Jussi Tossavainen/Helsingin Sanomat
