Valon kaupunki / Waloville

Waloville is an intensive solo piece by Ville Walo. It was the first full-length performance wholly based on juggling ever made in Finland.

Waloville is a city of light and jugglery. Its streets are dark and full of strange things lurking, of artistic tricks and smooth movement like a silent dance. Abandoned toys and melancholic rubbish come to life and find rhythms of their own, floating through the air in an intriguing mixture of juggling and drama. It incorporates technically innovative juggling and a strong stage presence in a solo piece for a juggler and a series of highly imaginative props. A story that represents the spirit of an urban streetwalker of both our own days and 1920´s modernism.

The performance is no longer in active tour repertory.
