It is a playful street performance where 5 young circus artists and a musician go back in time to their childhood. Different circus disciplines are being used in the nostalgic mood of accordion.
The performance is played by a Circus Studio Folie performance group FF. The performance group FF consists of 6 young artists who have been doing circus in Folie since their childhood, some of them for 13 years now. This group is creating original performances and searching different ways of expressing themselves, combining circus arts, movement, theatre and music.
Circus studio Folie was founded in 2000. Today there are 90 students leaded by 5 teachers who train in their free time. There are 3 performing groups who offer approximately 30 performances every year. Folie collaborates with other youth circuses in Estonia and Western Europe. At the moment, it is the only circus studio in the Baltic States who is able to prepare young people for entrance exams in circus schools all over the world.
In addition to artistic activities, Folie also tries to develop a social circus in Estonia – organizing workshops and educating their teachers as much as possible through different collaboration projects and international conferences.
Folie tells about them that the circus is their lifestyle and their aim is to develop Estonian circus in amateur, social and professional field.
