Unlimited Attention is a work for hoops and drums created by contemporary circus artist Miradonna Sirkka and musician Aleksi Kinnunen. The work explores, tries, and expands the boundaries of human attention span and endurance, by means of the indescribable connection between sound and body.

”Duration of the show: 8 hours.
Human attention span: 8 secs.”


As the show progresses, the intensity builds up – at times to even absurd, almost violent extremes. Communication happens through movement and sound: drums, breath, sweat, pressure, tempo. The body stretches. Sound waves vibrate. Finally it’s impossible to tell what is what.
