ABOUT THE SHOW
Directed by: Jamie Bretman and Clare Bartholomew
Set in a bygone era of cheap dames and dirty dicks, this noir mystery is one you chumps won’t want to miss! Featuring a smooth blend of “awe inspiring acrobatics” (The Age), shaken with “Charlie Chaplin-esque slapstick gold” (Timeout), a dash of burlesque and some high-flying aerial, this farcical cocktail makes for a delicious night out.
Jump in for the ride and head downtown, this is a slap in the face you won’t forget for a long time.

About the Show
Directed by Adam Deusian
Supported by the City of Stonnington.
Performed by Jake Silvestro and Romain Hassanin.
Acrobats! Dancers! Rollerskaters! More than circus, more than dance. Stranded in a far away place, would you and your mates have the skills you need to survive? Can you work together to solve the problems you might face? What happens if you disagree... This show is absurd, highly physical and wants to excite audiences with more than just sick tricks.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Presented by Melbourne Fringe Festival
Supported by Ministry of Culture Taiwan
Like cogs in a machine people work in a dreary office, repeating the same tasks. Numb, they forget to interact, forget how to communicate, their excitement for life a distant memory. Then Statue arrives and brings the daily grind to a screeching halt.
Do you still remember the last game you played as a child? Thinking back, do you care about the result or the process? When the drums sound, the game officially begins!
From Taiwan's FOCA - Formosa Circus Art comes Mr. III三III (Mr Three), a juggling, music and acrobatic adventure about ditching the suit and tie and reclaiming joy.
