Touch & Flow: Le cirque des éléphants - The Elephants' Circus

In this French-Finnish puppet theatre production, a troupe of elephants perform their most impressive circus acts - with clumsy elegance and silent comedy.

The programme features balance acrobatics from trunk to trunk, ball juggling, balancing on a large balloon, and tightrope walking on a very sturdy cable. Also on stage is a super-strong butterfly, wild mouse training, and a clown-musician whose guitar is out of tune.

Despite their nervousness, the thick-skinned artists surpass themselves with astonishing charm - especially when friends lend a hand.

Silent performance, 35 minutes. For children over 2 years old. Group registrations on the kultus.hel.fi website from 27.9 onwards.

Concept and direction: Cécile Guillot Doat and Jean-Marie Doat
