The events in Gaza are shaking the world. Politicians and the media are closing their eyes. Ordinary citizens feel powerless. What is it all about? KOM-teatteri's new autumn production is a direct and startling report on why Western countries look away when they should intervene. The performance, tinged with dark humour, offers factual information for anyone who has felt confused by world politics. Director Susanna Kuparinen is a multi-award-winning scriptwriter, journalist, and pioneer of documentary theatre, whose previous works have shaken both decision-makers and audiences. In her works, theatre is a conveyor of information and an arena for public discussion. Now, Kuparinen, together with journalist Maria Pettersson and the KOM-teatteri ensemble, brings perhaps her boldest work to the stage. In it, the collapsing world order and Finnish politicians invade news screens.

'Pyörre' (Whirl) is a contemporary circus performance suitable for the whole family, where Eetu Ranta takes the audience on a wondrous journey with spinning objects and acrobatic choreographies. Combining various objects and circus disciplines, the piece is a collection of successive wordless stories – movements, moods, and images. They are united by a swirling motion that draws in the performer and objects, sound and light. The performance features toys and tools used around the world, whose handling requires skill and knowledge of the effects of physical laws on movement. Originally made from natural materials, tools such as a Nigerian rascal top made from a snail shell, a South American lasso, and an East Asian diabolo come to life in a completely new way in the performance. Eetu Ranta & Circo Aereo Contemporary Circus Performance Pyörre. Performance and choreography: Eetu Ranta. Design: Eetu Ranta and Maksim Kom.
