A maximum theatrical experience with minimal means. The characters in this interactive piece, Hyppy and Naru, are experts in bouncing. They never get bored when their toys are jump ropes. With them, they take the audience to the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, organize a zany sports competition, and even put on their very own circus show.

Welcome aboard this rhythmic jumping adventure, but watch out—you might find yourself tied up before you know it!

Choreographer Jaakko Toivonen often draws inspiration for his dance works from his own childhood. A childhood where self-invented adventures were the most beloved games. A sandbox could turn into a hotel, a wardrobe into a portal to another dimension, and bike racks into a stable. Through play, one can test the limits of the imagination. And the dance piece Hyppynarutus does just that!
