BOOP Statera Circus

Winners of the 2021 Gasworks Circus Showdown Adelaide Fringe Award are coming!

Your everyday supermarket transformed into a joyous world of trolley races and terrifying stunts!

A ragtag team of employees try to find their place in the world, travelling into existential spirals of absurdism.

As we say, ‘Life is a mess, clean up on aisle 6’

This hilarious 50-minute family show immerses you in physical theatre, clown and inventive acrobatics on a never-seen-before apparatus!

Statera engaged at-risk youth through a collaborative creative development process. The result is a show that plays with expectations and adolescent cynicism discussing capitalism and self-discovery in a fast-paced, meme-y performance.

4pm, Thursday 2 March

Who are Statera Circus?

Statera is a joyous, adventurous, and inquisitive circus and physical theatre collective. They have specialised their skillset to target young people. Through circus performances and extended community engagement programs, they facilitate artistic opportunities for young people including those from vulnerable communities.
