Announcement posted by Cirqular Entertainment 18 Sep 2024

Cirqular Entertainment opened to rave reviews and an energetic crowd last night at the Sydney Fringe Festival, with two spectacular shows: the cheeky and thrilling adults-only After Hours and the family-friendly Circus of FACTS. Both will run until September 22 under the Big Top at the Darling Quarter Village Green Festival Garden - North Tent, so catch them quick!

 

After Hours is a sizzling circus extravaganza blending exhilarating sensuality with jaw-dropping acrobatics. Created by producer Kylie Simpson and director Danii Smith, it features a modern twist on the 1930s, with characters set in a fantastical world accompanied by a killer soundtrack. The show stars a former Moulin Rouge dancer, a Great Moscow Circus acrobat, and a juggler from Australia's National Institute of Circus Arts. With breathtaking aerial stunts and mesmerizing quick-change performances, After Hours offers an unforgettable night of thrills for M15+ audiences. Shows run at 9pm Tuesday-Saturday and 8pm on Sunday, with tickets available through the Sydney Fringe website.

 

For a family-oriented experience, Circus of FACTS takes viewers on a magical journey filled with diamonds, thievery, and fantasy, inspired by beloved 1930s cartoon characters. This fast-paced production features whimsical characters, quirky storylines, and 12 awe-inspiring circus acts, all set to modern swing hits. Perfect for all ages, Circus of FACTS runs at 6pm Tuesday-Saturday and 5pm on Sunday.

 

Both shows mark Kylie Simpson's triumphant return to Sydney after a battle with cancer, having produced these incredible performances from her hospital bed earlier this year. Don't miss out on this extraordinary circus double feature!
