WHO WE ARE?
KATERINA REPPONEN
Finnish Ingrian circus artist Katerina Repponen specializes in foot juggling, also known as antipodism, and has gained recognition in the world of circus arts. She moved to Finland from Estonia in 1993 and began practicing circus skills at the age of six. What started as a hobby gradually became her profession. Katerina completed her basic circus education at Koulutuskeskus Salpaus in Lahti, graduating as a professional circus artist in 2010. Immediately after graduation, she secured an international performance contract. Additionally, she received training at the prestigious National Circus School of Ukraine in Kyiv. Today, Katerina actively performs worldwide at festivals, theaters, and various productions.
PASI NOUSIAINEN
At the age of ten, I joined the Sorin Sirkus in Tampere. The hobby soon became an important part of my life, and my career as a soccer goalkeeper had to be left behind. In 1992, together with Eero Auvinen, we founded the juggling duo, The Buldig Brothers. The group still holds the 1995 Guinness World Record for the longest juggling performance, 12 hours.
I graduated from Circuspiloterna, circus school in Sweden in 2004 and my main disciplines are hand to hand and juggling. Since graduating I have been working in many circus productions as a circus artist and many theatre productions as an actor. I have also participated in several TV programs.
