Melbourne’s very own circus is returning to its hometown of Collingwood after an international tour to the US and Canada.
Credited with revitalising a traditional art form in a uniquely Australian way, Circus Oz is a rock’n’roll, animal-free circus that has influenced the development of circus arts around the world since its foundation in 1978.
Circus Oz undertook its first, critically praised international tour in 1980 and has continued touring to more than 100 cities and regions in 26 countries – playing to over 3.6 million people.
An ensemble of 12 jugglers, lyrical and virtuosic unicyclers, brazen hula hoopers, hilarious flying trapeze artists, hip-hoppers, acrobats and musicians coming from Australia’s multicultural backgrounds will have your entertainment needs covered.
The satirical band But Wait … There’s More, will also be performing at Birrarung Marr this winter, under the heated Circus Oz Big Top from 17 June until 12 July 2015.
But Wait … There’s More was created from scratch last year with the addition of lots of newly-recruited ensemble members under the direction of Circus Oz artistic director Mike Finch and Circus Oz touring show director Debra Batton.
The two-hour show, will be hosted in Melbourne’s Birrarung Marr, located between Federation Square and Batman Avenue. Tickets cost $22 – $95 including booking fees.
