Tonton Triet is a contemporary circus performance that stretches the ways of being in a peculiar and humorous way. Tonton is an orange character that changes, multiplies and morphs. Tonton is something unknown and strange, yet also humanlike.
"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.

At the heart of the performance is to open new perspectives and create multi-layered worlds through movement. The performance combines elements of contemporary circus, contemporary dance, Argentine tango and physical theatre to live-music. The performance has also a strong audiovisual level.

Circus artist Vilhelmiina Sinervo, dance and theatre artist Ines Kakkonen and composer-sound artist Mercedes Krapovickas perform in the show.

Tonton Triet had its' premiere and seven shows in November 2024 in Tampere, Finland, at Teatteri Telakka. It has been performed since in Culture House Caisa in Helsinki, Finland in March 2025 and in Turku City Theatre in FinFringe Festival in Turku, Finland May 2025.
