Alanko katutähdeksi?

Alanko katutähdeksi? is a street performance competition held on 17–18 July 2025 during the Popkatu Festival. The competition is open for everyone and all kinds of acts, be it dance, theatre, music, circus, or any other art form!

How to participate

  • You can participate in the competition with an act that is suitable for all ages and designed to work in a street.
  • The act can be dance, theatre, music, circus, or any other form of art.
  • The maximum duration of each performance is 20 minutes.
  • The performance spots are located on the pedestrian street in Joensuu. Each spot has a tent and access to electricity.
  • Please bring all the necessary equipment and props with you.
  • We are seeking acts which are specifically adapted to be performed in the street, which is why you might want to consider performing unplugged.
