Description: TORSO PROJEKT is an absurd and curious circus performance that combines music, hoops, a doll, chairs and a vacuum cleaner, partly based on improvisation and physical theatre. It invites you to explore your inner grandma and reminds you of this moment, the most important one.
The movement of the performance leans on a soundscape created live on stage using a wine glass, theremin, old radios, and a saxophone.
The performance is a combination of the group's previous MUMMI1957 and YXPILA CIRCUS CLUB works and revolves around the themes of play, safety, continuity, and presence.
Sara Airola & Yxpila Circus Club is a physical and musical mess piloted by circus artist Sara Airola from the unique Ykspihlaja area of Kokkola, which explores the essence of circus, with changing work groups.
