Wise Fools is a Finnish circus trio formed by Maria Peltola, Ronja

Vilponen and Valpuri Kaarninen. They are specialized in triple trapeze

and skipping ropes. The trio started circus as a hobby in a Finnish youth

circus Sorin Sirkus and they received their professional training in École

Superieure des Arts du Cirque (ESAC) in Belgium.

The trio graduated from ESAC in 2014 with an original triple trapeze

number. During the three years they developed a style where two

catchers swing and toss one flyer. In January 2015 they won with their

work a silver medal at the prestigious Festival Mondial du Cirque de

Demain in Paris. They have since worked for example with the world

famous Cirque du Soleil, the German variety company GOP and various

street art festivals in Korea, Spain and Israel.

In 2017 the Wise Fools were joined by the South-African Jaimee Allen

who is a 2017 graduate from ESAC. In addition to replacing one of the

original Wise Fools, Jaimee is specialized in cloud swing.
