Around is a contemporary circus performance designed for children about the life of a small circus group, their mutual relations and overcoming difficulties through co-operation.
Arriving with their caravan of hobby-horses the circus transforms an empty stage to a dashing arena during the show, using small pieces to form a great whole, ready for an eye-catching final number.
Lola is a dark contemporary circus piece dealing with the theme of memory loss. It's an absurd exploration of trying to remember and not remembering. Frustration and twisted moments arise from each attempt, and failure, to remain connected to the world.
Machine is a contemporary circus piece that explores the relationship between human and modern technology. The work initiated from the necessity to highlight the growing role of technology, especially the role of digital technology, in our human reality, and the ways that it changes both individuals and the society. Machine takes a critical approach to this progress so often taken for granted.
DISCO 3000 (working title)
With her body, a tightwire and a physical composition that draws on the Japanese rope art of Shibari, Hanna Moisala's WireDo tells a mesmerising story of stepping out to the unknown.
The three-dimensional Wiredo explores the inner balance of human behaviour with the question:
"What happens to the body when it chooses to surrender and be manipulated?"
Moisala´s daring tightwire stunts combined with long Shibari-ropes and elaborate knots offer an unprecedented spectacle.
