Agit-Cirk & Makeshift Company‘s Ghost Town is an exhilarating piece about the end. It takes the audience on a journey from a broken-down car in the middle of the desert to an unexpected climax.

The show combines circus, dance, media art and live foley, with world renown collaborators: Heikki Kossi, Jessica Hung Han Yun, Emma Lister, Sakari Männistö, Aku Meriläinen, Emmi Pennanen, and Alice Williamson. Ghost Town premieres at Cirko, the Centre for new Circus in Helsinki on the 16th of March. The performances run until the end of March. The performance consists of three sections: installation-like pre- and post-show sections bookend the stage performance. There is more information about the performance structure on the Cirko website.
