“Vimma” is a contemporary circus duo in which two characters and two circus apparatus—hoops and an aerial hoop—come to life through play and movement

As the apparatus blends with the costumes and the performers’ bodies, it draws the audience into a world full of surprises and mischief. Vimma captures the joy of performance and the freedom of movement. The show invites the whole family to discover contemporary circus through play and imagination. The Sisko collective was founded by three sisters from Lapland, Finland. Vimma is the group’s latest outdoor production, designed for audiences of all ages.

Sirje Tolonen graduated from ESAC in Brussels, specialising in hula hoop. She recently collaborated with Dance Theatre Hurjaruuth and presented her solo show Chainsaw Princess at various festivals. Saana Tolonen graduated from Codarts Rotterdam in aerial hoop. She has worked with several European companies, including Cirk La Putyka, LaCampistany, Boost Producties and the Trenina collective, whilst developing her own creations.
