Rock 'n' Roll Circus

Rock 'n' Roll Circus creates high energy physical theatre for thrill-starved audiences.
Rock 'n' Roll aims to shatter. It relentlessly pursues the most powerful of theatrical expressions. It produces theatre with a poetic reach - featuring moments of heightened lyricism, danger, passions and excitement.

Since it pioneered the art of physical theatre in 1986 Rock 'n' Roll Circus has evolved into one of Australia's most progressive and innovative theatre companies. Rock 'n' Roll Circus has won both the Green Room and the Matilda Awards for its unique productions.

The culmination of high-end physical theatre and energetic emotional journeys has catapulted the Company into the international spotlight. Rock 'n' Roll Circus has toured throughout Australia at the Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Sydney International Festivals. Internationally, Rock 'n' Roll Circus have been invited to perform in Edinburgh, Germany, Spain and Singapore.

Rock 'n' Roll's Spotlight show Tango is not a dance but a condition of the soul. As a starting point, Rock 'n' Roll Circus use the inner passion and dynamics of the great avant garde tangos of Astor Piazzolla. But no dance! And no Latin lovers or other tango cliches, only their almost spiritual devotion to the sensual. Tango is an exploration of the perils of intimacy and the search for home.
