Inside a forest of helium balloons, a small balloon follows one of the artists, as if it was a little bird on a leash, learning how to fly. In the background, attached from the wrist to a bouquet of balloons, someone seems to be lifted up to the air.<\/p>\n
In a peculiar and oneiric universe, populated with helium balloons, two artists dialogue with each other and with their objects. Far from being ordinary objects, the balloons have their own life. The artists seem to talk, and actually interact with the physical will of their own tools.<\/p>\n
Combining object manipulation, juggling, acrobatics and physical theatre, with hints of puppeteering and magic,\u00a0Lentois a research on risk, control, obsession and nostalgia.<\/p>\n
With strong images and poetic situations,\u00a0Cie Nuua\u00a0invites the spectator to celebrate the miracle of flight.<\/p>\n
Lento is part of Flow-circus, a series of contemporary circus performances in Oulu. The series is produced by Flow Productions with the support of Arts Promotion Centre Finland and\u00a0\u00a0in collaboration with \u00a0Oulu August Festival,\u00a0culture centre Valve and\u00a0The New Oulu Celebration Year.<\/p>\n
