Atlas is a family-friendly mix of contemporary circus,
animation and architecture that combines Ilona Jäntti’s aerial
acrobatics with Tuula Jeker’s projections. The suprising performance
paints a picture about understanding and perceiving the world: how
directions and scales change when some element is in an unexpected
position. At the same time, Atlas is a story about fleeting yet
meaningful encounters from the far reaches of space to the depths of the
seas.
