Jam Shenanigans – playful contemporary circus for family audiences at Jacksons Lane!

Jam Shenanigans will bring their joyful circus performance, which explores the importance of playfulness, creativity and imagination, to Jacksons Lane in late February. Their performance Shenanigans is an ode to the inner child: it’s is filled with airplanes, juggling, an inflatable swimming pool and a wild train ride.

Jam Shenanigans (opens a new window) is a fresh, young, and playful duo consisting of Batist Van Baekel (2000, BE) and Henri Kangas (1998, FIN). Jam Shenanigans produces and performs playful contemporary circus shows for family audiences. The performances from Jam Shenanigans stem from the wish to promote and spread healthy playfulness to their audiences, and being accessible to all age groups and all backgrounds.
