Kulovalkea
11 childhood friends get together after a decade to work together again.
A collabrotation by Sirkum Polaris & Nuua
Kulovalkea is an old-fashioned Finnish word meaning a rapidly expanding wildfire, a metaphor to witness something visually beautiful and an opportunity to plant new trees. With ethereal ambiences and dreamy landscapes like moving paintings, the performance lays out a playground for creative movements that take the spectator to a playful and curious headspace. Through collaboration and confrontation, seemingly ordinary things turn into something unexpected and twisted.
The truth is not always what reality conveys, but more what’s dragged from our subconscious minds, dreams and visions, buried deep in our psyche... and sometimes read out loud from a cut newspaper. Kulovalkea offers an array of fragmented scenes that feed the curiosity yet defy rationality. In a world seeking meaning and awareness we want to enhance the importance of the unimportant.
“Kulovalkea offers an array of fragmented scenes that feed the We seek a feeling that gets you carried away with the rhythm of detailed actions that are absurd and fun to experience like an uncontrolled stream of conciousness. A very detailed, well rhythmic and disorienting exprerience of motion and mood.
The origins of Sirkum Polaris go back to 10 Finns meeting in a local youth circus in Finland. A solid decade later all of them graduated from different circus schools around the world. Now they embark on a new adventure with the artistic team of Nuua and together bring you their first co-created multidisciplinary circus performance “Kulovalkea”.

The tables are set, the wedding march is rehearsed and everything is ready for the dream wedding. There is only one problem, do the bride and groom really want to get married? Appears a magical potion inspired that makes the characters fall in love with each other. Both drama and comedy follow as the conflicted characters of the story keep falling in love with each other.
Through circus and humor, the dream wedding reflects on the transformation of interpersonal politics. In a few decades, we have jumped from the traditional core family model to the diversity of gender, sexuality, and family. The prince can be a woman and a person can fall in love with a flower bouquet.
In the Dream Wedding, a hyper-realistic wedding experience is combined with over the top characters and events. The audience will be involved in the events by playing the role of the wedding guests. Let's raise a toast together in honor of true love! The performance includes aerial straps, juggling, hair hanging, acrobatics, foot juggling, rope and hand stand.
