Inspired by 80s teen films, Filament follows 8 characters and their coming-of-age stories.

This new approach to storytelling combines astonishing circus skills with tales of love, self-discovery, acceptance, and betrayal. Mix in dazzling lights and an infectious soundtrack, Filament shines a fresh yet familiar light on acrobatic theatre.

Hailing from Sweden, Sirqus Alfon brings a unique combination of beatboxing, clowning, chaos and comedy to the stage – including lasers.

Skillfully crafting a high-tech performance imbued with rhythm, humour and a touch of magic, they represent a genre entirely of their own in which the audience gets to be the star of the show.

A crossover of artistic creation and stage engineering solutions, I Am Somebody provides an immersive experience of light & sound like you’ve never witnessed before.

A phenomenal physical performance exploring all forms of rotation, 360 ALLSTARS connects the street with the elite to deliver a radical urban circus.

Boasting a stellar international cast, including the 2x World Champion BMX Flatlander, two World Champion breakdancers, an internationally acclaimed basketball freestyler, and an exceptional roue cyr artist, 360 ALLSTARS is a spectacular fusion of the extraordinary artistry that emerges from street culture.

Add to this a stunning live soundtrack performed by award winning master musicians Gene Peterson and Sam Perry, coupled with spectacular AV projections.

360 ALLSTARS is a revolutionary production that will leave you dizzy with excitement!

Jamie MacDowell & Tom ThumOne is good with his fingers, the other is good with his mouth. Tom Thum, a one-man orchestra - best known for the most watched TEDx talk of all time - joins bohemian singer-songwriter, Jamie MacDowell, to form an award-winning partnership that is “redefining musical parameters” (Nouse).

Armed only with a guitar, a distinctive singing voice and a versatile voicebox able to convey any instrument, this duo is unique. Tom’s heavy hitting, world-class beatboxing, accompanies Jamie’s brand of heartfelt songwriting and melodic fingerwork. Playing off each other’s talents, Jamie MacDowell and Tom Thum are the perfect musical match and their live show is made even stronger by their utterly irresistible charm and wit.

FaunaFive acrobats, a musician, and an alternate world. Fauna takes you on a journey through a fictional realm, introducing you to the characters that live there and their own imaginative animal kingdom. With high level acrobatics, set to an ever evolving live soundtrack, you will leave in disbelief questioning whether what you just saw really happened.

Ever wondered what wine goes best with Fairy Bread? Why hasn’t the ‘Champagne Spider’ caught on? These questions and many more will be inadequately answered by the self-styled sommeliers of comedy, Damian Callinan & Paul Calleja.

After intoxicating sold out audiences in 2016, The Wine Bluffs are back, doing what they do best: bullshitting about wine. Laying spurious claim to a reputation as renowned wine consultants, the duo, fresh from judging the Fruit Wine Section at The Rockhampton Show, will take the audience through the cellar door experience with a comedic twist.

“ Inspired silliness. If you’re a fan of Tim Minchin or Sammy J, you’ll like this show.”

~ A U S T R A L I A N S T A G E

Do you have thoughts that lie beneath the surface? That you can’t say out loud? Thoughts that might be a little... impure? Claire does. And she’s going to sing about it.

This ‘hobbit sized and burning with energy’ [Great Scott] gin soaked anti-diva has removed what little of her internal filter she had left, dispensed with any lady like notions remaining and is ready to get it all out there in front of a room full of strangers. In the most impure way she could think of. Through song.

Josh GlancmanfülFresh from a sell out season and ‘best comedy’ nomination, Josh Glanc follows up last year’s smash hit ‘99 Schnitzels’ with his latest creation, Dicky Rosenthal – the hyper-masculine, image-conscious ‘American beefcake’. Combining high-wired silliness and subversive social observation, manfül is one of this year’s must-see shows. Absurd, insightful and achingly funny!

HHHH“ Casus has taken up permanent residence in the hearts of Fringe-goers, and rightly so.”

~ T H E S C O T S M A N

As we drift along the current of life we are shaped by the humans we encounter. The stories of our loved ones, our enemies, and complete strangers guide us and determine the person we become.

In this colourful and turbulent concoction of pure joy and intimacy, watch Casus bring a blank canvas to life and reveal our innate need for human contact. To feel is to be human and in a moment of danger, a grasping hold is survival.

The unique acrobatic shapes, signature to Casus Circus, abound in this journey of explosive encounters, hidden looks, and humorous discoveries.

“ Contemporary, sexy and a little bit dangerous... Both elegant and alluringly raw (never mind the blood stains).”

~ T I M E O U T N E W Y O R K

Set in a nightclub and underscored by electro-pop music, SLUMBER follows a breathtaking girl squad of elite circus performers and dancers on the last night of their lives. Featuring choreography by Keone and Mari Madrid, the show takes the audience on a terrifyingly fun ride as they watch best friends get killed off by one of their own. Who lives? Who dies? You decide.

“ A talented cast, a compelling story, phenomenal physical performances, and rollicking energy are a winning combination.”

~ T H E S K I N N Y

Will you participate? Will you be manipulated? Will you listen? Will you really listen?

With no rehearsals, no director, a different actor each night, and a script waiting in a sealed envelope on stage, internationally acclaimed White Rabbit Red Rabbit, by Iranian writer Nassim Soleimanpour, is an audacious theatrical experiment and a potent reminder of the transgressive and transformative power of theatre.

“ His creativity and ability to improvise is second to none. He makes everything from a crowd member’s name to a plane flying overhead musical.”

~ T H E A D V E R T I S E R

Did you know that your name alone has enough rhythm to create the sounds of a drum kit? Have you ever considered the sound of a passing bus to be the same as an opera singer’s voice? Do you ever look at a vegetable and wonder what it might sound like?!

Award-winning multi-instrumentalist Adam Page takes you on a journey through a normal day - exploring its sounds and finding the music in everything from brushing your teeth to falling asleep! You’ll walk out of the performance with a newfound love of music that surrounds us in the most random of things.

The Working Class is a large scale, site-specific photographic exhibition by award winning Australian photographer Aaron Bradbrook.

This gritty and raw new series documents the extreme yet often euphoric realities of what is means to be an artist working at the world’s largest arts festivals: the Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe festivals. However, unlike common production photography, this series focuses on the moment the artist exits the stage after performing. Sweaty and dirty, the artist emerges seeping with exhaustion and emotion.
