What does it feel like to let change wash over you? The performance utilizes magic, circus and theater to examine the idea of constantly shedding away old layers of yourself. At its core, the show deals with the grief that accompanies such transformative events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Suddenly: and other ways to change tells a story about the performer's life, while aiming to speak to some universal experience of the contradictions of personal growth. In a way it is something we all want, to be better versions of ourselves and yet it is a process we rarely have control over. The show investigates the themes of  loss, pain and deep joy in the turmoil of the changing self.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_group_0 et_pb_group et_pb_module et_grid_group et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_bg_layout_light_hover et_pb_module et_flex_module\" href=\"https:\/\/liput.arcticensemble.com\/fi\/buyingflow\/tickets\/15556\/21567\">TICKETS 12.6. *<\/a><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_1 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_bg_layout_light_hover et_pb_module et_flex_module\" href=\"https:\/\/liput.arcticensemble.com\/fi\/buyingflow\/tickets\/15556\/21569\">TICKETS 13.6. *<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_pb_row_nested et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>* English<\/p>\n<p>**Finnish<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_0 et_pb_video et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Suddenly: and other ways to change TEASER 2024\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/987040370?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_2_5 et_flex_column_2_5_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/circusfestivalou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/6291C190-A282-4E8E-9D82-54A1E04EF891_1_105_c.jpeg\" title=\"6291C190-A282-4E8E-9D82-54A1E04EF891_1_105_c\" width=\"723\" height=\"1087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/circusfestivalou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/6291C190-A282-4E8E-9D82-54A1E04EF891_1_105_c.jpeg 723w, https:\/\/circusfestivalou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/6291C190-A282-4E8E-9D82-54A1E04EF891_1_105_c-480x722.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 723px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-132\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_pb_row_nested et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_3_5 et_flex_column_3_5_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h1>OPUS COMPANY<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opus Company is a multidisciplinary performance collective based in Tampere, Finland. The collective is founded by Kerttu and Adam Opus, who are both contemporary circus artists interested in the cross sections of theatre, illusion, circus and installation art. Their shared practice is heavily influenced by a passion for dramaturgy and endeavors to use unique objects and physicality to explore how contemporary circus expresses meaning. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the company\u2019s ethos is also a high emphasis on community building and communication about the process of making circus.
