Barbaroi
WINNER! - Best Circus - Adelaide Fringe, 2021
“If you love daring and exhilarating circus acts that defy the ordinary and quite simply blow your mind, then you will LOVE Barbaroi.” ★★★★★ Theatrepeople.
The award winning dystopian cyberpunk circus showdown finally comes to FRINGE WORLD!
Gangs overrun the neon-clad side streets, the underbelly and outcasts rule the forgotten ruins of the old district. Chaos and danger lurk in the shadows. There is a showdown happening downtown; an initiate stumbles amongst a crew of meta-human misfits; the BARBAROI. Will she have what it takes to be one of them? This is do or die, this is her initiation.
Presenting for the first time at FRINGE WORLD, this high-octane acrobatic show will lead audiences down a gritty, cyberpunk rabbit hole of wild, daring circus.
