How to make? How to create? How to be without being?

Jukka Juntti: “ My wish is that you do not read this text before you have seen the piece. Then you can make your own association before I tell my ideas about what I am doing. I think it is more important that you can see this through your own eyes, before I tell you how to watch it. I know as well that you are more interested read it now because of what I just said, but really wish you don´t”.

Climping baron – the boy who is never down.

This contemporary circus project was inspired by Italo Calvino´s book “The Baron in the trees”. The story is about a boy who climbs up the trees and never wants to come back to the ground. He decides to live his life  in society but in different way – up in the trees.

Jukka Juntti is graduate from Danshögskola Stocholm. He is asking questions such as how to process a process? How to create? How to be without being? Juntti´s act is about making the show. Juntti is aerial acrobat and he is finding new ways to using the rope. He is questioning the routines of invisible behaviour that exist in the society.

How do you play the cards that you were given? Why are we –who could have everything so easily –making our lives so complicated?

Matleena Laine uses different kinds of material on the trapeze. Laine is asking: "Why to make movement more difficult and complicated to yourself when you can just follow the flow?"
