A spectacular outdoor new circus showcase inspired by the stars!
As the stars appear, for eight nights Queens Wharf will be home to some of the country’s best new circus, performing on
a purpose built outdoor circus rig, combined with pyrotechnics, spectacular lighting, sound and AV design.
Last year FUSE Productions brought you the award winning HEAVENLY BURLESQUE (Best of the Fringe & Best Fringe Theatre.) Gravity and Other Myths brings together a nationally and internationally experienced creative
team with some of the hottest new stars. Gravity and Other Myths will have its world premier at Queens Wharf then tour
nationally and internationally in the years to come. Don’t miss this opportunity to say you saw it first!
The grandeur and dynamic nature of space meets the most extreme and spectacular performance world of new circus! Acts
using fire, stilt walking, trapeze, web, bungy, hula hoops, dance and object animation will draw inspiration from
astronomy. From the geometry of heavenly bodies to super nova explosions, from quantum physics to Maori astronomy, this
is a show that will leave audiences breathless in amazement!
Also, Special Opportunity!
Taster workshops in circus skills. During the days of the show performances, you too can run away with the circus – or
at least have a go. Wellington Circus Trust will be running introductory circus workshops, so come and play in the sun!

If you couldn’t afford to go to Auckland and pay over $100.00 to see Cirque Du Soleil, don’t miss your chance to see the
finest home grown New Circus!
