Tonton Triet
Tonton Triet is a combination of dance and couple technique, contemporary circus and physical theater with live music
Tonton Triet is a mobile and performative contemporary circus piece that stretches the ways of being. The work is a play with the images and possibilities created by the character. It explores interaction and being human through a distancing character.
“Tonton” is an invented word and it can refer, for example, to the Finnish word for gnome or to the French word for uncle “tonton”. Tonton Triet plays with the images and possibilities created by the character. The performance explores interaction and humanity through the humorous and weird Tonton-character.
