Avanti! -club - Summer Sounds kick-off: Steve Takasugi's Sideshow
- Saturday 16.5.2025 at 18:00
- Avant Hall, Cable Factory, Lobby B
Sideshow is a meditation on virtuosity, freak shows, entertainment, spectacle, business, and the sacrifices one makes to survive in the world. A cycle of six aphorisms by the Viennese satirist Karl Kraus (1874–1936) is embedded as a subtext running through the work.
The concert is also part of the Summer Sounds 2026 program, curated by Joonas Ahonen.
