The Nordic Council continues their exploration of life in the north with their second full length show. Bringing audiences their mix of peculiar humour and contemporary circus. This show delves into the moments and situations that arise when you mix cold winters, alcohol and awkward northerners. It looks at both the traditional and the current ways we drink our sorrows away and shares them with the audience with a hearty dose of self-awareness and circus skills.

The show invites the audience to light-hearted self-reflection in settings that (almost) anyone can recognise themselves in. The three northern artists come together to collaborate on their collective heritage, coming from Iceland, Sweden and Finland there’s space for them both to share the similarities, but also to express their differences.

Häppy Hour is a one-hour circus show in which juggling, physical comedy and acrobatics blend with live music and Nordic stereotypes to create a show that is both surprising and intriguing.
