Direct from France, Germany, USA and Canada, CIRCA is a thoroughly new kind of circus.

Daring, breathtaking, and cheeky, this extraordinary troupe has left the high top and drum roll behind and stripped circus bare – and its bold new vision is taking the world by storm. Rapturously acclaimed around the globe, from London to Berlin, Mandurah to Moranbah, this is movement at its most adventurous, but with a cabaret twist and a larrikin’s flair.
Combining high energy sound and innovative projections, seven of the world’s best perform jaw-dropping acrobatic feats. It’s dangerous and skillful, immediate and powerful, but above all, it’s intimate and real.
In high demand, Australia’s Circa are back for a limited time only between international tours. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience what the rest of the world is raving about.
