"For me circus is the way to express myself to the world outside. It’s also a way to discuss, a way to create and execute the things I have in my head, a way of life. It’s something I feel deeply, it means a lot to me, it doesn’t define me as a whole person but it defines a part of me, a professional me, that I take really serious and it gives me the possibility to be a playful adult to take life more lightly." Jenni Lehtinen

For this episode we invited the two Finnish artists Sasu Peistola and Jenni Lehtinen of Agit Cirk. Sasu was in residence at the Berlin Circus Festival in 2017 and performed his finalised performance "Väkevä" in a double bill with Jenni and her show "Lyydia".
