It all starts with a lost sock! This family-friendly performance, combining modern circus and visual magic, solves the age-old mystery of socks lost in the laundry.
PYYKKI – Lost in Laundryland is a contemporary circus show for all ages, where Company Portmanteau teams up with artist Helga Stentzel to uncover the age-old mystery of the missing socks. Blending circus, dance, puppetry, and new magic, the show follows two friends on a quest through a surreal world filled with playful characters and visual surprises.
”An original performance by renowned artists offers everyday magic”
– Helsingin Sanomat
An audience discussion will be held after the performance on Thursday, February 12th.
Company Portmanteau’s PYYKKI – Lost in Laundryland is part of Cirko’s CirkOtus programme for families, where fun is guaranteed! As part of CirkOtus, Cirko’s program features two family-friendly works each year, both in spring and autumn.
