​         Ten years ago, a group of friends, united by years of circus training, left their country and decided to create a show about their native Finland. With joy, self-mockery, tenderness and bold energy, they share their love for Finland: the magic of the polar night, the endless forests of lumberjacks and wintersports and of course the passion for the sauna.
 
“Mad in Finland” is a powerful, crazy and extraordinary circus experience, fuelled by the happiness of the seven artists to meet again. The circus skills of seven women, their winning energy as well as a decent portion of humour will leave you with an immense smile. 

« Mad in Finland contains all the necessary ingredients. A performance full of humour, love, energy and overflowing satirical spirit. » Les trois coups
The show is produced by Mad Collective and the French company Galapiat Cirque, founded in 2006 at the National circus school in Châlons-en-Champagne. The show premiered in 2012 and has since toured extensively.
