the tent
After a bunch of contracts and years working in other peoples venues we decided we wanted to have a go at doing it all ourselves. So we did the logical thing and started a 2 year long process of getting ourselves a big top. And now, after many grant applications, thousands of hours delibarating colours and designs, an incredible fundraising campaign andlots of rigging and building, we can proudly say, WE HAVE OUR OWN BIG TOP! And what a beautiful one it is.
The primary point of the big top is to provide us with a venue to create and perform new larger scale shows, which we can then tour around Finland, and eventually internationally as well. It is a big step forward for our collective and will allow us to share our values, art and kick-ass circus with even more people than before, all under a waterproof canvas roof.
The big top is also available for hire in events such as music festivals, private events, culture festivals etc. Below you can scroll through some pictures of the tent in use and see how this beautiful structure could elevate your event.
If you are interested in renting the big top, either on its own or even as a package deal with a show or two, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We can provide size specifications and discuss what possibilites are available to make your event even more amazing.
