Finnish Circus at BYU

Riikka, her kids and I went to see the Finnish Circus at BYU last night. I must say that I guess I'm not artsy enough to understand what was going on. It was the weirdest entertainment I've ever attended. Riikka and I kept looking at each other wondering if we were missing something when the audience was laughing and there was nothing funny going on. Why did we have to watch ball juggling for 10 minutes straight and nothing else was going on. I can't even start to explain how strange this whole thing was. Must be Finnish humor. I didn't get it.
