Elämäntavaksi muodostunut nykysirkus ja sen monimuotoiset esiintymistilaisuudet ovat kuljettaneet tämän Akrobaattikaksikon esiintymään yli kymmeneen eri maahan.
Heidän omaleimainen ja karismaattinen tyylinsä, tekee myös yritys- ja yksityistilaisuuksien ohjelmasta mieleenpainuvan.
Pariakrobaatit Jenni Lehtinen ja Sasu Peistola ovat työskennelleet sirkustaiteen ammattilaisina yhdessä jo yli 10 vuotta. He ovat esiintyneet yli 15 eri teoksessa sirkus- tanssi- ja ooppera-areenoilla, suurilta teatterilavoilta satamakaupunkien katusirkuksiin.
Inni & Sasu ovat valmistuneet Turun Ammattikorkeakoulun sirkuslinjalta. Pariakrobatian erikoistumisopinnot he ovat käyneet Ukrainan valtion sirkuskoulussa Kiovassa, sekä Ecole supérieure des arts du cirque sirkuskoulussa Belgiassa.
He työskentelevät freelance taiteilijoina itsenäisesti, sekä Agit-Cirk sirkusryhmässä. Heidän erityisosaamiseensa kuuluu pariakrobatian lisäksi ilma-akrobatia, käsilläseisonta ja kahvakuulajongleeraus. Taiteellisen työn lisäksi he toimivat myös sirkustaiteen opettajina.
