Saturday Grand Milonga

Tango Frostbite Festival

Europe's biggest Argentine tango orchestra, Tango Experience, with two of the world's top Argentine tango dancers Neri Piliu & Yanina Quiñones. The performance was out of this world and a true highlight of tango in Finland.

Jäniksen vuosi

Witty and funny but perhaps a story heard too many times already.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Circus

Arctic Ensemble circus tent

Kerava

Arctic Ensemble

Superb and joyful show with a 360 audience section, some of the best crowd work ever and a finale out of this world.

⭐⭐⭐

18.5.24

Theater, Circus

Suomen kansallisteatteri

Helsinki

Bells and Spells

Victoria Thierrée Chaplin

The show we all wanted to love but were fairly disappointed. There were a lot of great moments, costumes and props but many scenes just didn't reach the standards for stage illusions and puppetry.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Theater

Sinkkipojat - näytelmä sodasta

Helsinki 98 / sadsongskomplex.fi

The pain of war was just too real and I almost couldn't take it. Glad I stayed for the second half though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Theater

Aleksanterin teatteri

Helsinki

Waiting for Godot

Samuel Beckett

Finally got to see this classic and it was well worth it.

👍👍👍👍👍

Stoa

Helsinki

Luukamari-Movie with Live-music

Sivuhenkilöt

After cancelling all the 5 performances at Stoa due to injury, the ensemble decided to put together a screening of the Luukamari performance with added live music and foley. It's always unfortunate when injuries happen (especially for the artist!) and this was one of the best ways to make the most of a terrible situation. I will not rate the show (since I didn't really see the live version yet), but will give 5 thumbs up for the creative solution.

Joitakin keskusteluja merkityksestä

Kansallisteatteri

Three supporting actors wait for their turn to shine in this hilarious yet melancholic play reminiscent of Waiting for Godot with notes of the TV series Lost. The abstract scenario seems almost like the purgatory where you want just one more opportunity to prove that your life had purpose before moving on. Brilliant acting from Elina Knihtilä, Pirjo Lonka and Tommi Korpela joined by dancer Jyrki Karttunen and musician Ringa Manner.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
