HANDS SOME FEET
The Finnish word hepuli means a sudden outburst of uncontrollable emotion, whatever the feeling may be.
In this unconventional love story, a juggler and a tightwire dancer meet and offer a universal performance of young couples under the spell of hepuli — the thrills, the frustrations, and the explosions.
Hands some Feet is a critically acclaimed contemporary circus show, poetic, playful, and brimming with charm. With humour, physical theatre, jump ropes, and innovative acrobatics, the duo blend their mastery of juggling and tightwire with live music played on instruments from opposite sides of the globe. A gust of madness, a fresh breath of poetry, a sparkling alchemy.
“The performance was a wonderful and entertaining experience with incredible feats of acrobatics, juggling and coordinated skills. ★★★★½”
“The couple work perfectly in harmony together, combining their skill sets together in an artful way that looks stunning. ★★★★½”
“Will both bring you joy and leave you gobsmacked. ★★★★”
“The whole performance is a refreshing and uplifting cool breeze, a spritzer for the soul.”
-50min performance for indoor and outdoors, suitable for all ages.
