About the event
Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up
Join this travelling spectacle for just a night, and allow our global First Peoples to delight and disturb with tales and talents you won’t soon forget. From the Aboriginal Cannibal Boomerang Throwers and the great Wizard of the High Wire, to the exotic Fijian Mermaid… this is the story of the First circus performers.
From specimens to stars, discover the power, resilience and strength of our First Peoples told with provocative political humour, searing irony and stinging social commentary. And, of course, all the striking burlesque, vaudeville and spectacular entertainment you know and love.
Be amazed by the savage ringmaster, the powerful song woman and more.
Step under the big top as we discover this circus with bite!
