Helsinki Festival, August 16 – September 1
The Helsinki Festival programme traditionally offers theatre, dance, circus, classical music and jazz performances, combining the works of internationally known artists along with the newest compositions by local stars.
For many years, the circus as a visual and multilayered storyteller has been a particularly powerful part of the programme. This time, one of the festival magnets is circus art megastar James Thiérrée. In his surreal performances, Thiérrée is simultaneously an acrobat, comedian, poet and magician. He will be a guest at the festival with his performance of Raoul.
This Helsinki Festival will place particular attention on American minimalist composer Philip Glass. The programme includes a retrospective of the composer's work, which will be performed by the Philip Glass Ensemble and the author himself. Philip Glass will also hold a piano concert and take part in the live performance of his music during a showing of the legendary 1982 film Koyaanisqatsi (Director: Godfrez Reggio).
