Kate & Pasi: Culinary Chaos – A Circus Show for the Whole Family
Feb 7, 2026 | 3:00 pm
Ala-Malmin tori 1, 00700 Helsinki
A bellyful of laughter! Culinary Chaos invites the audience into the kitchen of two chefs who are passionate about food and virtuosos in their own chaotic way.
In their kitchen, skilful acrobatics, juggling and gleeful comedy blend into a performance where nothing goes according to plan, yet everything is delicious from start to finish. This humorous and joy-filled show whisks the audience off into a world where flour and objects fly around.
Katerina Repponen and Pasi Nousiainen, the duo behind Kate & Pasi, have performed for 15 years in over 25 countries across the globe, from Canada to Japan, and their works have been seen at nearly a hundred festivals. In Finland, they have brought the circus to everyone’s doorstep, performing at daycares, schools and playgrounds, as well as in Dance Theatre Hurjaruuth’s Winter Circus and as part of the Sirkus Finlandia programme. Kate and Pasi combine acrobatic mastery, strength, beauty and humour in a truly unique way. Their performances have earned international acclaim and have won awards at prestigious circus festivals in countries such as Germany, Latvia and France.
