Ethereal light art dance performance Enigma with mesmerizing led fans and hoops.
Azuh
Fiery fire performance with fast-paced action involving couple of different props!

Aerial acrobatics performance on a hammock, featuring a flying red bunny and a giant carrot. Inspired by the old-school hippie vibes of the ’70s, the red bunny takes you into the rabbit hole to see the dark side of the moon.
Erikoisliikemies / Special Movement Man
A versatile flow arts performance with songs woven into one cohesive set.
Nuua
Mindfuck manipulation! It’s playful psychological misdirection in a form of juggling and object manipulation.
Fem Flamma
At the threshold of life and death stand two Guardians – not good or evil, only necessary. Darkness and light negotiate. The flame breathes, fades. The border moves. And in the stillness, something remains.

FlowingLinda & Miralkemia
Fire is a fierce and mesmerizing element. Flow Of Flames is a visually striking Fire Duo Show where poi, hoops and fans move in synchronized flow. Firedance and prop manipulation blend into a dynamic performance that highlights the raw beauty of the flames.
Galactic Hoop Bums Company
The piece portrays a dysfunctional, otherwise fairly peculiar improvisational theatre group and the creative anguish it goes through. It therefore includes speech, movement, and dance — and of course worms!
If you cut a worm in half, is it still the same worm, or many different worms?
Galactic Hoop Bums Company’s new work is collaborative creation at its best. The improvisational theatre piece approaches difficult subjects and intersecting desires in its own distinctive way.
Hobutoh
Hobutoh’s performance unfolds in two parts: a one-hour roaming piece in the festival area, followed by a ritual-inspired performance on the Circus stage with a pre-recorded soundtrack. The work features striking masks and costumes made from natural materials.
The piece continues Hobutoh’s exploration of bringing butoh into festival settings, following earlier performances at Kosmos, Boom, Ozora, Esoteric, and Sun Festival.
Karita
Karita presents an aerial silks performance featuring poses, drops, and a range of movements on vertical fabric.
Kupla Kopla
Bubbles everywhere throughout the festival every day.
Kupla Kopla brings colour, joy and spectacular bubbles to the dancefloor and festival grounds. With vibrant performers, playful characters and giant soap bubbles, the group creates a magical, interactive atmosphere for all visitors.
Kupla Kopla invites people to pause, join in and experience the delight of bubbles together.
Lena Lumo & Yxpila Art
A three-part ritual-inspired performance blending fusion belly dance, contortion-style acrobatics, live shamanic drumming, and striking fire artistry. It follows a transformation from controlled mystique to raw, fearless authenticity, culminating in a fire dance with a fire crown and a flame-blowing horn.
Performed by Lena Lumo, an experienced fusion belly dance artist, and Yxpila Art, a multidisciplinary artist known for handcrafted shamanic drums. The duo can also present fire improvisation or dance-and-drum improvisation.
Mimi Von Starling
A classic burlesque act combined with not so classic flow props.
Noora Juppi
A pole dance performance combining pole dance, contemporary dance, acrobatics, and butoh. In the piece, the body sheds familiar human forms and transforms into something plant-like.
Nora Chacon
Aerial rope solo.
Nyx
Nyx – Mistress of Midnight Motion is an aerial silks performance that unfolds like the night itself: it begins slowly and quietly, then builds into a powerful, pulse-like surge of energy. The piece combines hypnotic movement, striking split poses, wraps, and controlled drops that create a strong sense of tension and release.
Olli Vuorinen
A juggling and object manipulation piece with signposts. Lost? This work is created from the pure joy of confusion. Opposing road signs pull the juggler in different directions, turning the performance into a playful and thought-provoking journey that asks: where are we actually going?
Olli Vuorinen is an award-winning juggler, dancer, and director based in Helsinki, and the artistic director of Nuua Company. He creates innovative contemporary circus works that explore the relationship between objects, the body, and space.
Pauliina Koskinen ja Ilé Poikela
Pauliina Koskinen is a multi-disciplinary circus artist who has made a career in, among others, Sirkus Finlandia and performing at various events all over Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Austria. Pauliina will perform at Kosmos with her intense multi-hooping number, which is inspired by the Northern Lights and the atmosphere of the North.
Ilé Poikela combines physical performance with acrobatics, sensual movement and intense stage energy. The performance moves between force, fragility, control and freedom with movement that’s both soft and sensual, sweaty, raw and powerful.
Roosa Hannula
OBSCURE | Aerial hoop
Roihu
Roihu is a group of seven individual talents who managed to find common ground with different props and skills. And so they began working in unison to achieve something bigger than the sum of its parts. We are hallittu kaaos aka manipulators of madness.
Drucilla
Drucilla is a fusion bellydancer and a fire flow artist. Her dance solo piece called “Maa, Äiti, Kantaja” (Earth, Mother, Carrier) has been created using Laura Lunas Medusa bellydance format.
Satu & Chrisu
This performance combines pole dance movement, partner work on the pole, dance, and acrobatics around the apparatus. Inspired by travel and encounters with different cultures, the piece draws on an imagined journey into the deserts of the Middle East. Its musical landscape moves between calmer and more dynamic sections, shaping the atmosphere and rhythm of the act.
Silve
Still life in motion. Life is so many things all at once. Dance.

Synkronia
A fire flow performance combining rope dart, poi and contact staff. The piece moves through solo and duo sections, building from more focused flow passages into a shared partner choreography. Its structure highlights variation in rhythm, changing stage dynamics, and the interplay between the two performers.
Tulikukka
The fire show unfolds through a series of changing moods, beginning with a more atmospheric solo and gradually building into a faster, more dynamic rhythm. Along the way, the performance shifts between solo and duo sections, bringing in playful energy as the act develops.
The second half grows more expansive and visually striking, leading into a powerful finale performed together. The overall structure moves from elegance and intensity towards a more spectacular closing sequence.
Tulimenninkäinen
The performance is shaped to suit mood and setting, unfolding in rhythm with the music. The dance partner in the piece is a rope dart, creating a dialogue between movement, space and flow.
Nahkaparturi & Olga

Psy Boys
Papa Psy, rytmien alkemisti ja DJ, joka kutoo näkymättömistä säikeistä matkoja tuntemattomaan. FC Goa, rumpujen akrobaatti, jonka lyönnit sytyttävät ilman ja palauttavat kehon sen alkukantaiseen sykkeeseen. Aapo Soulanto, saksofonin loitsija, joka puhaltaa kipinöihin sielun ja saa liekit laulamaan. Yhdessä he muodostavat kosmisen sirkuksen ilman turvaverkkoa— äänellisen rituaalin, jossa basso jyrisee kuin kaukainen ukkonen, rummut rakentavat pyhän kehän ja saksofoni piirtää näkymättömiä symboleja yöhön.
