"The Herttakuninkaat show is the first full lenght show by Herttakuninkaat and so it is named after
the group. In the performance Kalle Lehto and Kai Kuutamo bring forth extraordinary characters that
each introduce their own style of circus arts from animal circus to contemporary art circus.
Herttakuninkaat will hit you and your family like a log!"
During the show the performers will review different styles of circus arts together with the audience.
The different styles are represented with a self-ironical and well-informed professional touch through
narration and practice in a somewhat show-and-tell fashion. The show has delighted audiences around
Finland since 2014 with its lighthearted humour and skillful tricks bringing smiles on even the most
serious of faces. The show has been seen on many festivals like Seikkisrock, Norpas, Skidit and
SmugsuRock and it has toured in more than 40 retirement homes around Southern Finland and Southwest Finland
