Le Coup

It’s fight night at the circus!

Le Coup transforms the glittering Aurora Spiegeltent into a neo-vaudeville speakeasy, where it’s fight night at the Circus. Chelsea McGuffin and Co, the legendary creator of fantastical circus shows Scotch & Soda and Cantina gathers a rag-tag bunch of Australia’s finest cabaret and circus stars to mix fire breathing, daring aerial feats and breathtaking acrobatics for a scintillatingly visceral experience.

Le Coup is a tribute to funfairs, travelling troupes and the showmen and women of yesteryear. Featuring a ferocious live soundtrack by the bluegrass band Father Grant and The Blunt Objects, it’s a guaranteed knockout. It’s time to grab a drink, place your bets, and pull up a seat ringside for a fight like no other!

MERRIGONGX is our annual artists’ program. It focuses on supporting artists to take creative risks.

MERRIGONGX places artists and their practice at the centre of our community. From in-house creative developments to full-blown public presentations of new work, and everything in between, MERRIGONGX provides independent artists with financial, technical, marketing and artistic resources.
