The Big Top Show
Circus Monoxide's big top show is, according to the Sydney Morning Herald,
"anarchic, irreverent, and contemporary, but intent on appealing to all"
-- Sydney Morning Herald (20/10/07)
It contains all the spectacular elements you'd expect from a circus: heart-in-mouth trapeze, acrobatics and hilarious juggling. It also contains lots of elements you wouldn't expect, like a double-decker bus with fold-out sides... like aerialists plunging into a bath filled with water in a routine of rare emotional force... like a live band whose refined musicianship is matched only by their ability to make it up as they go along.
In the tradition of vaudeville, sideshow, and classic circus, the show is ever changing. New performers bring new acts, new skills, new energy, and new laughs, but the show remains a complete theatrical experience with thematic depth, character journeys and cultural references.
Circus Monoxide's big top show is riotous night out for the whole family. It is fresh, eclectic and authentic, with plenty of improvisation, play and connection with the audience. A wicked evening of original physical performance and popular theatre, this is circus with a difference! Stay tuned for future tour dates.
