Huimaa! – Sirkuksen taikaa ja tarinoita -näyttelyn opastus alakouluille

On the venue's site

Huimaa! – Sirkuksen taikaa ja tarinoita: In this guided tour of the exhibition, we explore the history and present day of Finnish circus. Along the way, we see how the circus has changed from touring troupes of the 1800s into today's international art form. The guided tour considers what makes the circus so fascinating, what it is like to grow up as a circus artist, and how much practice these skills require. In addition, we become acquainted with life on tour, various performance venues, and how circus can be used to support wellbeing and community. Finally, we discuss together what the circus means today and why it still amazes, inspires, and makes viewers see the world from a new perspective. Two free guided tours are organised: one for primary school (lower level) and one for secondary school (young people). The maximum group size is 20 people.
