21 circus acts in 20 minutes

By Bay Retreat on March 1, 2013 in
All the fun of the circus is coming to Port Arthur for one day only as part of Ten Days on the Island festival in March 2013. In a dazzling display of physical agility, Australian performance troup Circa will literally perform 21 circus acts in 20 minutes.

Fast. Furious. Funny.

When the Circa circus rolls into town the Ten Days on the Island festivities begin! Their head-shaking, furious acrobatics is spell binding, leaving its audience questioning the limits of physical flexibility. But set against a ticking clock this is magic and entertainment revved to the limits. A flurry of 21 circus acts performed in merely 20 minutes is an amazing feat that only this Brisbane-based international troupe can perform. Fast and funny, this is a free event that all the family should see more than once if you can. Its young team who fly, twist, tumble and contort themselves into a knot of limbs is regarded as one of the country’s greatest exports, having entertained 180,000 people in 13 countries in 2011 alone. Almost embracing pantomime, the three young acrobats race against the clock before leaping to an awaiting vehicle that whisks them to the next stop. This show is as much a challenge to their audience as to those on stage.

Make it a picnic to remember with our gourmet barbecue
