Welcome to enjoy music, circus, working together and interesting environmental talk! Nature, the environment and working together will take center stage at the family-wide event with a program for all ages.
In the stage program, children are entertained by a good-natured, long-line children's musician and storyteller Ville Karttunen and a variety of children's music Count of Bouncy Castle. Ville Karttunen is a children's musician and storyteller whose good humor captures the attention of the children's audience, encouraging them to sing along. At the gigs of the Count of Bouncy Castle, you can dance and bounce to a great extent! The music of the latest album, Mandarin Day, ranges from the depths of the Afro-beat to the heights of the Andes and through the Cuban carnival to the sound of Balkan horns.
In the early evening on the stage show, the lovely Jutta Rahmel as well as Janne Masalin and Patterns. Artist, composer and chanteuse Jutta Rahmel's new music moves naturally between atmospheric indie folk and songwriter pop. Janne Masalin's songs are composed of supple beats, rocking live music and hokem. Doing band gigs is adapted to a rough rock band.
The speech of the Youth Council of Espoo and the performance of Activist Mums, which encourages climate action through hope, will also be heard on stage. Activist Momsmovement was born in 2019 when a group of grandmothers discovered that only young people were concerned about climate change. The main themes of the activities of activist moms are moderation and hope, as well as grandma vision. By their own example and sharing research-based knowledge, activist moms want to secure a viable world for all grandchildren. It also occurs in the area Espoo Circus and Theatre School Eskon Young circus artists of the gig group.
