Dates for 2012 are: 20 May 17 June 15 July 19 August 16 September 21 October 18 November 16 December

Circa

Roll up, roll up... the circus is in town! But banish any thoughts of clowns, fire-eaters and performing tigers. This is circus for the 21st century, where the magic is stripped bare and served up by seven impossibly perfect bodies. The cast combines dance with circus in a combination of acrobatic and tumbling sequences which make up a show that's extraordinarily energetic, powerful and sexy. Movement is language for Circa, and the only sounds you'll hear, apart from the soundtrack and the thump of bodies on the floor as the cast twist, tumble and turn, are the gasps of the crowd around you. The show duration is 75 minutes with no interval and will be held on 22 May at Nautilus Theatre Port Lincoln, 24 May Middleback Theatre Whyalla and 26 May Northern Festival Theatre Port Pirie.
