The performance, which took place at the popular Hartwall Arena, lasted more than two hours and attracted a full audience. Finns, Russians and guests from other countries came to see the Russian artists. According to the director of the circus Edgard Zapashny, more than 10 thousand people were present in the arena. In Helsinki BMHC brought the show "Emotions", which had already been shown in Tallinn and Riga. Clowns, acrobats, jugglers took the stage, and each of the numerous numbers had its own color and musical accompaniment. In addition, the artists tried to make the performance interactive - they communicated with the audience and engaged the audience in the numbers, and, paying tribute to the local audience, used some words and expressions from the Finnish language in the show and at the end of the performance brought the flag of the republic to the arena. "I think everything was amazing, because first of all the audience votes with their feet. And the fact that the hall was full is a great honor for us,"“It’s very hard to work on such a site (“ Hartwall Arena ”is mainly used for hockey matches - approx. TASS) . Because the distances are large, which breaks the connection between the viewer and the artist a little. I think we are very cool, " he said. The Moscow Circus plans to visit Finland in the future. According to Zapashny, "Emotions" is a performance that is closest to a classical circus. "It brings together a simple, but common philosophy that makes up our worldview with you. Because each color that is declared in the program is a kind of emotion, each number represents a separate emotion and in fact the whole performance is a spectrum of emotions," he said ... “As a person who has been working in a circus all my life, I believe that the circus is famous for this - it gives the viewer who comes to the performance, such energy that covers all emotions. There is fear, joy, and some kind of flashes completely different feelings, there are numbers that show risk, others - skill, others - laugh , - said the artistic director.Our program is linked into one whole two clowns, representing black and white, and between them - a mix of all the other shades. That was the main idea, but at the same time we tried to preserve the classic structure of this performance, because it is our flagship . ” He complained that Finnish legislation did not allow BMHC to bring tigers to the country, which should also be involved in the show. “After the performance in Tallinn, these animals returned to Russia ,” he said. “Now the viewers who live here will not see the performance with predators until the law changes. And this is a great sadness "- considers Zapashny. He added that such problems did not arise in the Baltic countries, but the circus nevertheless faced difficulties - pickets of the "greens" who booed people going to the show. According to him, the circus hopes to come to Helsinki again. "It will depend on our partners and producers, but the success must be consolidated, of course," Zapashny summed up.
