Espresso

Espresso is a french-finnish performance that freely mixes genres and approaches of circus expression. Traditional circus, cabaret and contemporary circus confront and overlap.
Espresso is a high speed journey in the labyrinth of circus history, a journey from which the eye can only catch images, lights, movements. Impressions. A rabbit.
Four artists come and go. They juggle and dance while time goes by, while costumes and music change, while the art is altering. Each one on stage, lives this strange experience to be his own ancestor and his own future, for a short moment each time. And every period of time adds to the others to concentrate their art even more.
Bien serré, l'espresso.

The four artists play to introduce flaws in the chronology, and suspicion in what is to be seen ; they play to exaggerate, between tribute and parody. "You do what you need to do", but you do not think less.

Bienvenue, l'expression.


The première happened in february 2006 in Espoo (Finland), and the last performance happened in the same place in february 2012, after more than 120 performances in Finland, France, Switzerland, United States, Mexico and Syria.
