Rafa Macarrón | Los noctivagueantes
The Spanish artist Rafa Macarrón displays anatomical figures with their stretched forms and extended proportions. The paintings are full of representations, which are peculiarly scaled. Macarrón’s visual language of human condition is based on reality, yet in a surreal way.
Anetta Lukjanova | Witches' Flight
Anetta Lukjanova works mainly in the medium of oil paintings and public murals in a large scale. Her works combine themes from mysticism, reality and pop culture, bringing forward almost magical version of contemporary figurative realism.

Red Nose Company: About The Rite of Spring – a Ritual for Four Clowns
This performance is an unusual and surprising show inspired by Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. The clowns dance their own choreography to music written for them.
This performance is an unusual and surprising show inspired by Stravinsky’s famous Rite of Spring. Four clowns explore this great musical work and its many interpretations.
They give themselves fully to the task. In the show, the clowns dance their own choreography to music written especially for them.
The goal is to create a ritual that strengthens the feeling of connection — without sacrificing a young girl ever again. Also no middle aged woman have been harmed in the process.
The first performance of The Rite of Spring in 1913 caused a scandal. It appeared at a time when the world was heading towards the First World War.
The Rite of Spring broke many artistic traditions and has influenced Western art perhaps more than any other work.
The performance is full of physical, wordless comedy.

Klovnit haluavat räjäyttää kaikkien tajunnan musikaalikentällä. He päättävät luoda täydellisen musikaalin.
Klovnikaksikko Secret (Amira Khalifa) ja Tiktak (Nora Raikamo) haluavat räjäyttää kaikkien tajunnan musikaalikentällä.
Nuoruuden toteutumatta jääneet haaveet ja kaikki uran aikana tekemättä jääneet musikaalien pääroolit mielessään he päättävät luoda yhdessä klovnimuusikko Delta Airwavesin (Jussu Pöyhönen) kanssa täydellisen musikaalin, jonka säveltäminen on Deltan suuri unelma.
Hamutessaan kohti teatterikentän taivaita klovnit lipsahtelevat vääjäämättä kohti maallisten tomumajojensa rajallisuutta. Miten tavoitellaan täydellistä, kun jalka ei enää taivu spagaattiin eikä nouse korvien korkeudelle?
Klovnit joutuvat kohtaamaan sen armottoman tosiasian, että ruumis rapistuu eikä elämä jatku ikuisesti.
Klovnitrio etsii täydellisellä matkallaan opastusta sumerilaisen rakkauden ja sodan jumalatar Inannan manalaan laskeutumisen myytistä.
Heidän ainoa vaihtoehtonsa on laulaa sisäiset tuntonsa kertakaikkisen kuuluviksi ja tanssia ruumiinsa rajat näkyviksi. Eihän heillä ole enää muuta menetettävää kuin huumori.

Diskomusiikkia, loistavia valoja ja interaktiivista komediaa! Frankenstein on hulvattoman tieteellinen ja hirviömäisen hauska koko perheen show!
Näyttelijät Timo Ruuskanen ja Tuukka Vasama ovat huikean suosittu klovnikaksikko, jotka tunnetaan saumattomasta yhteispelistään ja oivaltavista esityksistään. Frankenstein on heidän leikkisä tulkintansa Mary Shelleyn klassisesta tarinasta. Saamme tavata hirviön – tottakai – mutta myös kaksi hullua tiedemiestä, jotka johdattavat meidät läpi esityksen.
Frankenstein käsittelee erilaisuuden ja toiseuden kokemuksia. Kuka kuuluu joukkoon, kenet hyväksytään porukkaan? Ja eikö meissä kaikissa loppujen lopuksi asu pieni hirviö…?

Mitä tapahtuu, kun yhdistetään Ilmari Kiannon kansallisklassikko Punainen viiva ja kaksi huippukoomikkoa? Syntyy huumorin ja livemusiikin täyteinen yleisömenestys, jonka on nähnyt yli 30 000 katsojaa ympäri Suomen.
Palkitut näyttelijät Timo Ruuskanen ja Tuukka Vasama vievät katsojansa kainuulaisen Korpiloukon mökkiin ja suomalaisen yhteiskunnan, äänioikeuden ja tasa-arvon juurille. Esityksen on ohjannut Otso Kautto.
Punainen viiva iskee ajankohtaisuudellaan, poliittisuudellaan, herkkyydellään – ja hersyvällä huumorillaan.

Don Quixote tells the story of a Spanish middle-aged man who loses his wits and decides to become a knight-errant. Together with his loyal companion Sancho Panza they ride along, seeking to help people in need. Underneath the comedic surface, the story has a rebellious undertone that encourages people not to kneel before evil authorities.
