20 years later, still here! Lotta & Stina. At Riksteatern. 2 women, 23 years, 23 countries, 10 000 shows, 5 broken bones, 2 000 dickheads, 1 cancelled show.
This is the starting point of an autobiographical performance about two women's wild joyride through two decades of circus arts.
From the glitz and glamour to countless hours of practice, blood, sweat and tears. In 20 years later, still here!, the circus artists Lotta Paavilainen and Stina Kopra share the highs and lows of a life in showbusiness. The performance is both a love letter to live audiences, and a tribute to a long-lasting friendship between two women.
Lotta Paavilainen and Stina Kopra began working together with the circus discipline of rola-bola in 2001 in Finland. At the Belgian circus education École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque, they dedicated three years to refining their technique. They are the only female duo in the world performing acrobatics on rola-bola. Despite being told that they are too short, too heavy, too this, and too that, they have proven the opposite for twenty years.
