Togetherness = an illusion?
 
Feelings and words are not communicated through lines in this work of WHS, but through movements and vibrant surroundings. The story is formed about a relationship, a game of closeness and distance.
 
“Lähtö mixes up dance, theatre, circus, and magic into a compellingly beautiful imagery, that lingers to haunt the mind for a long time.” -Turun Sanomat
 
 

WHS is a visual theatre/contemporary circus group from Finland, founded by visual artist/magician Kalle Nio, juggler Ville Walo and set&costume designer Anne Jämsä.
The productions of the group have been a crucial factor behind the rise of Finnish new circus that has rapidly occurred in the past decade. In the performances of the group new circus has become a very modern, independent and continually changing form of expression, that other arts, especially video image, compliment.
