Finland’s first circus professor unites many art forms under a big tent

Finland’s inventory of the intangible: music, circus, cuisine and everything in between
Finland’s original approach to cataloguing intangible cultural heritage is collaborative and ongoing. The inventory includes many of the country’s singular strengths and inimitable quirks, some of which might become part of Unesco’s lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The compelling visuality and strong sense of physical presence captivates audiences and makes circus art from Finland powerful, unique and recognisable.
