Impacts

A foot juggling solo exploring vulnerability, sisu, and finding your own path.

Nelli Kujansivu was 10 years old when an accident changed her life forever, and doctors told her she would never walk again. Today, she works as a professional foot juggler.

A poetic circus performance about the journey from trauma to acceptance, where what once broke you becomes the foundation for something new. With dark humor and rawness, Nelli explores the absurdity of a tragedy in which her injured feet became a tool for her art. A tribute to the strength found in fragility, and to transforming one of life’s darkest moments into art.
