Gankino Circus - Bei den Finnen

What the Franconian is to Bavaria, the Finn is to Europe: an exotic from the north, taciturn, whimsical - and yet somehow endearing. So it's not surprising that the band "Gankino Circus" from Dietenhofen in West Central Franconia feels almost magically attracted to Finland. And so, after a borderline television experience, the band bus is packed up without further ado and the four exceptional artists set off on a journey after which nothing will ever be the same again ...

"Bei den Finnen" is the name of the brand new program by Gankino Circus, the world's first cultural spectacle to bring together waders, Schuhplattler and filter coffee machines on stage. Accompany the musicians on their road trip and learn about peculiar customs such as axe and grass blade throwing. Marvel at the four courageous Franconians who are the only team without a woman in the women's carry-on.

Find out why the Finns so rarely change their shirts, what this has to do with the mysterious washing bowls on stage, what magic powers are hidden in the red canoe they brought with them and how Gankino Circus uncover the secret of Finnish serenity.

Of course, the focus is once again on the music: Finnish polkas meet Franconian rock'n'roll, virtuoso world music from their own pen merges with unconventional interpretations of old Finnish folk songs or classical works such as "Finlandia" by composer Jean Sibelius.

The music is as multifaceted as the composition of the illustrious touring party: there is the sought-after bachelor and doctor's son Dr. Simon Schorndanner junior on saxophone and clarinet and accordionist Maximilian Eder from the legendary Eder dynasty, who turns out to be a secret Finn whisperer. Johannes Sens, a drumming jack-of-all-trades and expert in Finnish-Bajuwari fraternization rituals, surprises with his magical abilities. And Ralf Wieland, as tour guide, has to lead his disparate troupe and the audience safely through the evening ...
