Kaukokaiku – puppet theatre in a caravan

The colourful caravan puppet theatre Karavan pull into Soittoniekanaukio with their show ‘Kaukokaiku’. ‘Kaukokaiku’ is a series of two puppet theatre short films that depict the imaginary cities of VSKNHA and GÖG and their citizens. The films will be shown inside the caravan. The showings will run non-stop throughout the day. The performances are designed for all ages and are almost completely wordless.

Realisation: Teatteri QO and Karavan

At 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Duo Kate and Pasi: Rafla

‘Rafla’ is a modern circus performance that conveys the story of a moving restaurant and two restaurateurs who love their work and each other, despite all sorts of mishaps. At the bistro, things do not always go as they should, but joy and delight are always guaranteed. This lightly comedic and lively work leads the audience on an adventure in the world of acrobatics and juggling where pizzas, onions and people fly once the restaurateurs of Rafla roll up their sleeves!

Suitable for all ages.

From 11.30 a.m. to 12.45 p.m. and from 1.30 p.m. to 2.45 p.m.
Balloon Magician Taika

The jolly balloon magician Taika, who has flown from the faraway and mysterious land of balloons, can bend a balloon into any shape requested, and the possibilities vary from one-balloon charms to more complicated balloon creations.
