#since1994

Prepare to be captivated. Trail-blazing Taiwanese company Eye Catching Circus makes its explosive West Australian debut with #Since1994 – a breathtaking contemporary circus experience featuring an all-female ensemble of extraordinary acrobats.
Creator Chih-Ling MEI has crafted something revolutionary: a sophisticated, stereotype-shattering performance that challenges everything you think you know about the female body and what it can achieve.
This isn't just circus – it's rebellion in motion. Watch as these phenomenally skilled performers defy gravity and expectations, suspended from symbolic frames as they navigate the brutal complexities of modern womanhood. Raw, competitive, and fiercely supportive, these young women under 30 showcase talents that will leave you breathless.
