CIRCUS

NOTORIOUS STRUMPET AND DANGEROUS GIRL

BY JESS LOVE Julia Mullins was a thief, a prostitute and a drunk. Jess Love is a carnie, a queer and likes a drink.

Get taken in by the self-supporting arms of this astounding Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Where twisted storytelling and spectacular circus skills are shaken and stirred, with 1 part dark comedy, 1 part serenity and 3 parts honesty, hilarity and hostility.

SHE DANCES

4X4=4

BY NATURAL WINGS

THE FLYING XAMELS

WINNER of Best WA Circus Show at FRINGE WORLD 2016 She Dances is a contemporary circus show that combines trapezes, dance and physical comedy in a way that is both quirky and poignant. It touches on some deep themes while stunning you with intricate (and hard core) choreography.

Inspiring. Awkward. Beautiful.

— 15/16/17 September @ 7pm, 18 September @ 6pm

4 People. 4 Ropes. 4 Lives.

They exist in the real world and they exist in the vertical world.

Where do they fit? Watch as 4 very different people move on a common ground and share their very separate world, transposed and subverted into the vertical environment of the performance.

A quirky aerial performance with a twist in a surrealist environment.

AKAI ITO AND THE FOREST

EMPTYING THE BUCKET

BY SELF CONTAINED SPACES

NEBAHAT ERPOLAT

VERTICAL INSANITY CIRCUS Displaying an array of circus and movement skills, including duo acrobatics, trapeze and contemporary dance, Mortal Sins explores the moral afflictions related to the seven sins. How do the sins influence our actions and what happens if we are consumed by them? Will this relationship, which is built on trust, survive or wilt under the pressure of our mortal sins?

— 22/23/24 September @ 7pm 25th September @ 6pm

AKAI ITO and the forest brings together stories of love and connection with those of grief and loss. Each story is contained in a sculpture, inviting you to follow the threads to listen or watch. At the end of the journey the boundaries of our connections are tested, but will they break?

Tues-Sat 15th to 30th September at 8 pm — Sunday 18/25 Sept, at 7pm

Since antiquity, love has been a strong force of much art, literature, film, music and classical dance.

This connects to an important question regarding how we see and feel love in our contemporary society and as well as how these can be expressed through live art. ‘Emptying the Bucket’ is a daring dance live art work that is interdisciplinary and invites the audience to look into the world of human desire to love.

THE ROLE MODELS

MYSTORI

The Role Models are ready for the world, ready to set their legacy down, but primarily ready to give the fans what they’ve been demanding for years, the World Premiere of Adelaide’s Number One Boy Band. This is somewhat about destiny, mainly about love, and all about you, the fans.

— 20/21/22 September @ 8pm

A Masked Performance that is mysterious, erotic, and a little bit freaky. Mystori’s transformations are alluring and strange and at the same time archetypal, a powerful force of nature.

TRAIN MAN AND THE RAIL WAY

BY WORD OF MOUTH THEATRE

BY PAUL BOURKE Vladimir the Crow is a scholar of horror, a conduit to all things ghastly and ghoulish, a grotesque clown and surreal song and dance man. The show is a dark, poetic, hypnotic, horror fairytale and a celebration of classic horror.

“A crash course in gothic horror, Bourke finds a deft balance between comedic and terrifying.”

— 28/29/30 September 1st Oct @ 9.45pm

For years, he’s been lectured by the passengers. Now he’s lecturing back. Nick Backstrom has discovered a major flaw in the train system. It’s the passengers.

But this isn’t (just) about bitching - it’s about change, becoming the best damn passenger you can be.

Make your journey better today!
