The company

Sirkus Aikamoinen is a Finnish contemporary circus company created in 2009. The core and the strength of Aikamoinen’s work is built from the combination of different elements they use: a large repertoire of circus disciplines and circus techniques, live music played by the artists on stage, and the strong bond and friendship between the artists of the group. In an era of individualism and specialization Aikamoinen promotes pluridisciplinarity and collective work.

Aikamoinen's previous work includes 15 full lenght circus performances: Skaala (2009, director Pasi Nousiainen), Aisti (2011, director Mattias Andersson.
