A large part of human life is spent waiting around. There are even specific rooms and spaces built for waiting. And waiting is what Odotustila, a contemporary circus performance, is about. In the hands of magician Kalle Hakkarainen and juggler Ville Walo, waiting turns physical and becomes the main point of the performance rather than a mere transitional state. Video footage forms a true living set and another space. The performers walk directly into it, where the story continues without a gap – a bit in the style of Laterna Magika from Prague. The waiting room created by Walo and Hakkarainen is a surreal space, where time gets manipulated; people 
walk backwards and trains dash forward like bulls into the magician’s bag. Killing time becomes an art form.
Duration: approximately 55 minutes, no interval
