MOTÖR CIRCUS

The Zero-Emissions Rock’n’Roll Circus Show

ENERGIAKENTTÄ Sat 12.9. & Sun 13.9. 45 min

An acrobatic rock circus performance on the roof of an electric-converted Volkswagen van, combining physical comedy, acrobatics and themes of sustainability into a high-energy manifesto for a cleaner future.

An acrobat rocks on the roof of a ‘70s Volkswagen van converted into an electric car. The music, laced with a rusty aesthetic, leads us on a journey towards an emission-free future. Eikka Alatalo’s stage charisma, physical comedy, and skillful balancing and flips manifest a cleaner future for all of us! 

The work participates in the social debate on sustainable development through circus art and rock music. The original music composed and performed by Eikka Alatalo contains fascinating auto-fictional episodes about his quest to find a non-toxic reality.
