Modern circus in an intimate dome tent, two monoperformances. The Väkevä & Lyydia shows take place in an intimate space in the KomsioDome tent, right next to the audience. Väkevä is a one-man show that conjures up images of the breath-taking talent shows of past eras. Modern circus performance Lyydia is a solo piece by acrobat Jenni Lehtinen, in which she utilises the wooden structures of the geodetic dome to move around.
Both shows are interactive with the audience, in different ways. The joint production, Väkevä & Lyydia, subtly rejuvenates the cultural traditions of Finnish circus, bringing it into modern times in style.
