Ro-pu
Climbing bodies, twisting ropes, dance in dizzying heights, shadowy illusions

In addition to its stunning aerial acrobatics, the always surprising and multifaceted Ro-pu is tender and humorous. The music that pulsates and echoes in the bodies of the spectators is a key element of this artistically innovative production. All music featured in the performance has been composed originally for Ro-pu.

"Ro-pu is miraculously beautiful."
Kaisa Kurikka / Turun Sanomat
Ro-pu employs the latest technology in its soundscapes and visuals. The artists' movements on the stage are shot on video and used as the initial impulse for video projections and music.

"... how bravely innovative Finnish contemporary circus really is." Jussi Tossavainen / Helsingin Sanomat
