HELSINKI! Two sold-out shows 💗 Tonight, Memoirs of Mud one last time at @caisahelsinki, 19:30.
Yesterday we finally had our Finnish premiere- A strange little big show about mud, memories, bodies, landscapes, home, and whatever else somehow found its way into it. Nobody knows when Memoirs of Mud will be played next. But for tonight, we play, cry and laugh out loud together.

Four years later, we are finally doing it. Memoirs of Mud will be at Helsinki Circus Festival, 10 & 11 September at Caisa.

This show somehow has its roots in Finland — Inka comes from Finland, and Imogen is a fake Finn anyway. And the show itself was created with so much of the Finnish landscape, memories and questions in it, that it feels quite emotional to finally be able to perform it in Finland.

Four years ago, we premiered this strange little show. Since then, it has grown, changed, travelled — and so have we. But at its heart, it’s still the same strange little universe where nature meets artificiality, handbags become greenhouses, potatoes become crowns, and two humans try to make sense of the world.

FINALLY, FINLAND. ❤️

🤩Behind the scenes of - MEMOIRS OF MUD -

Nature and artificiality - two supposed opposites - come together in Based on Kimberly’s ”Memoirs of Mud”.
In a playful, provocative, and adventurous circus show two performers explore nothing less than life in all its complexity. Relentlessly and with acrobatic virtuosity, they navigate through sterile living environments and muddy terrain. They balance on swinging trapezes and fight with antlers made of ginger, transform handbags into greenhouses and potatoes into crowns. In this bizarre universe, there are no limits to absurdity and playfulness.

Are you a Yes person? Say Yes and take a look at our new trailer- Quintessential new wave, new wonk circus. Experimental, physical, fashionable, and satirical work by Inka and Imogen.’ Yes Person is a circus show that celebrates ideas too peculiar to live—but too fabulous to die. Inspired by the concept of "killing one’s darlings," the creative process of discarding beloved but unfit ideas, this performance breathes new life into those very darlings.

Premiere: 29 January 2026
📍 @cirkohelsinki, Helsinki

This work has grown through trust, time, and collaboration.
We are deeply grateful to our beautiful team and partners for supporting the journey — and we can’t wait to finally share the show with you.

We’re not real farmers, not even close, can’t tell a rake from garden hose. But we’ve got rhythm and we’ve got roots.
